DIECAST DRIVE-IN

vincent ryder

Hello folks. I'm Vinnie. I live in Nova Scotia, Canada in the summer and in Yuma, Arizona from November to April. I was on this site previously but was not able to keep visiting. I have been a diecast fan and collector for several years and have maybe a couple of hundred pieces. I also collect Meccano and other Hornby stuff. I have numerous Dinkys in various states of refinishing, including about 20 that are primed. I'll take these with me when I decamp for the winter and, hopefully, get them painted while I'm away. I appreciate the skills of the members and wonder why my efforts never look as good as they should. I enjoy the challenge however.

Hi there Vinnie. Welcome. I think we have another member in Nova Scotia. Well, you have a rather luxe situation going to warmer places in winter!
If you are not satisfied with your results, there are members here who can advice you. And of course everyone here wants to see pictures of your collection!

Hello Vinnie, a big welcome from the Windy City. Acually I located about 65 miles South of Chicago in Indiana. I am ready to leave the Midwest and relocate to Florida for the Winter. It is good to talk with you. Welcome here.

Thanks for all your kind wishes folks. I am currently packing up some stuff to take with me to Arizona to play with this winter. Mostly painting. I have about twenty primed and ready to finish. Here are some of them.

While I think of it, does anyone know where I can get decals for The Beech 55 Baron ? I haven't been able to find any.
