I collected diecast cars growing up, and then they went into the attic, with the occasional add through the years. And then my son began collecting. While at home during the pandemic in 2020, I brought the collection down from the attic and my son's collection grew from less than 20 to more than 200 in an afternoon, and continues to grow almost every day.
Some of my old castings needed repair, and he was putting some good wear and tear on his new ones, so I began fixing them, which led me to RU-vid and discovering the world of diecast customizing, to which I'm happy to belong. While I brought diecast cars to my son, he brought RU-vid to me, and here we are.
That's my 1/64 story. In my 1/1 story, I'm a writer and filmmaker, and I have an incredible wife and an amazing son.
