Take Off!

The focus of this blog is to create as much awareness as it would be possible by words about die-cast model collections.

So lets start with some trivia and facts. Do you know the most common word any toddler would learn after the words 'Mom' and 'Dad'?

The word is 'Car'.

Not surprising, is it?

Let's get a few facts straight about my blog. I am a small time die-cast collector. I started collecting only very recently from about the end of 2015. So I am far from knowledgeable to be able to claim that I am a 'die-cast collector'.

So what would you get from reading my blog? I became passionate about collecting die-cast models that I thought to share my experiences through a blog! So my blogs would be all about the journey of collecting die-cast models, and you get to learn about it along with me.

Since I am just starting out on my journey in die-cast collection, I would be heavily borrowing images from other bloggers who have dedicated facilities to shoot photos with their high end DSLR cameras. I will also give the credit to their work.

What better start could I do than talk about some of the most phenomenal collector pieces that history of die-cast collecting has ever witnessed?

First is the Gasser craze!

This single model, '55 Chevy Gasser in pink, is responsible to have started off the Gasser Craze! It became the corner stone for an explosion of sorts for the whole die-cast community to take notice and start yearning to get this in their hands.

Personally, it is one of my most favorite casting and color. What do you think of it? And what variation have you got? Do leave your comment.

Lastly, the JDM craze!

I do not have much knowledge about the JDM craze and how it started. So I will leave it you, the reader, to teach me about it.

I selected the Honda S2000 to talk about just because of this awesome wheels. The regular variation doesn't do justice to the sleekness of this car.

I do want to note here that there is a much sleeker and more beautiful version of this same car. The dinner car in 30th Convention with Ryu Asada. I personally think that the dinner car is presented in a far better way than any other versions of this car.

I also understand that JDM can't be represented by just this S2k. So do leave your comment about what you think best represents the JDM as a whole.
