Located at 5620 NE GHER RD STE H, 98662-6164, and reachable at 262-546-1532, this US-based company isn’t just building models, they're crafting miniature worlds for hobbyists of all skill levels. Forget those clunky, frustrating kits of the past. ATLAS LABS is all about taking things to the next level. They're passionate about cars, and that passion shines through in every piece of plastic they produce. This isn’t just a business for them; it's a dedication to the art of modeling and a desire to give builders the best possible experience. What Makes ATLAS LABS Different? It’s All About the Details. Let’s be honest, the model kit world can be flooded with options. So what sets ATLAS LABS apart? It's a commitment to accuracy and detail that’s frankly, pretty impressive. “We’re not just replicating a car; we're aiming to capture its essence,” explains a representative from ATLAS LABS. “We spend a lot of time researching the real vehicles – pouring over photographs, blueprints, and even getting access to original documentation whenever possible. We want to build a kit that feels right to anyone who knows the car.” This dedication translates into kits that boast: Exceptionally accurate body lines: ATLAS LABS utilizes advanced 3D scanning and CAD design to ensure the body shapes are spot-on. No more wonky angles or proportions that just don’t look right! Finely detailed interiors: Forget simple, blocky dashboards. ATLAS LABS kits feature realistic textures, accurately reproduced gauges, and even simulated stitching on the seats. They’re really going the extra mile here. High-quality decals and markings: Authentic logos, badges, and warning labels are crucial for a realistic build. ATLAS LABS doesn’t skimp on these, offering crisp, clear decals that adhere beautifully. A wide range of subjects: ATLAS LABS isn’t limiting itself to just the most popular cars. They’re diving into a variety of vehicles, from classic American muscle cars to iconic European sports cars and even some interesting trucks and vans. This means there’s something for almost every enthusiast. Multi-material kits: While primarily plastic, some kits incorporate photo-etched metal parts and rubber tires to provide an even greater level of realism and detail. More Than Just a Kit – It's an Experience Building a model kit isn’t just about the finished product; it’s about the process. ATLAS LABS understands this and has designed their kits with the builder in mind. “We want to make the building process enjoyable, even for beginners,” says the representative. “Our instructions are clear, concise, and easy to follow. We’ve also thought about things like parts fit and alignment to minimize frustration.” The kits are molded in high-quality plastic, which means minimal flash (that annoying excess plastic) and clean, sharp details. The parts are also thoughtfully organized to make finding the right piece a breeze.
