This is how I started … this is my story.
I do love old timer cars. So I tried to get the first mass produced car: the “Ford T”. I was decided to buy one and drive it around. But I also loved the “Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost”. And if I think of the ’50-s cars I become nostalgic. How could it possible be, to have them all.
Here’s the answer: I did get a diecast scale model car. And so, I ended up buying my first. And very soon I got the second one, and the third model, until I needed some shelves to keep them all.
Diecast scale collectors love the real thing: cars, trucks, motorcycles, air planes, ships etc. But we cannot brig all these at home so we collect them as diecast scale models. Whether you spell it “diecast”, “die-cast” or “die cast” this is real stuff …
What is your story? How did you start collecting diecast scale models?
