Here are a few of
my favorite links to diecast related sites I like to frequent.
If you would like to submit a request to have your own site listed
here, see the instructions below. Thanks!
- One of the best
and most visited diecast discussion boards
there is.
- A huge number
of additional "community" features such as a chat room,
links to the major diecast manufacturers, trivia, auction and
classifieds ads pages. Also included are modeling tips and detailing
tips pages as well as model reviews and a locator tool.
- The Links section
also includes links to many other diecast dealers, modifiers
and enthusiast sites.

diecast collectible cars in the popular 1:18 scale. This site

preordering services available. This site boasts one of the most
extensive offerings of diecast muscle cars available.

car ever made is featured here. Almost every car listed that

all types of 1:18 diecast with a strong Euro car presence missing
in many of the other sites.

regular on the Stage-1 discussion boards. Randy was one of the
founders of the famous Car of the Month poll and he still helps

his site and a link to the COTM can be found there as well.

the 1:18 diecast collecting hobby. I don't know how he gets the
news before anyone else, but his news posts are often the most
timely around.

indexes of photos of many, many Ertl diecast cars. Many of the
subjects include limited edition cars. The news section features

has some great links to little-known sites which feature lots
of modified and detailed diecast.
