  • Meet Rob of Matchbox Garage and How to Share your Diecast Hobby on Instagram
    Nov 21 2022

    When it comes to restoring Matchbox garage, it's hard to not think of Matchbox Garage. Rob has been making works of art out of seemingly destroyed diecast vehicles. Rob braved some serious technical issues as we tried to overcome the type of issues only thousands of miles can provide. Still, we had a great discussion and Rob was a delight to chat with. Also, @Datsunman Diecast takes us through that it takes to make a good diecast based Instagram account, and the pros and cons of Instagram vs YouTube for the hobby.

  • Talking Hollywood Car Culture with Fireball Tim Lawrence & Diecast Car Picking Tips
    Jun 6 2022

    If you can think of a car related job,  @Fireball Tim Lawrence  has done it in full scale and miniature as well. From the 1989 Batmobile to Herbie the Love Bug, Fireball has had his hand in hundreds of iconic film and TV moments AND had his designs featured on a run of Johnny Lightning Diecasts (and those aren't even the most interesting things he's done). The living Dieast Hero returns to chat some more about working and living in Hollywood design and car culture, some of the amazing folks he's met working as a designer, and the philosophy that's empowered him to keep following his dreams. (Plus we get a special surprise bonus mini interview!) We're also once again joined by Rob of  @Scale Enthusiasm  to talk diecast car news and Chuck and Rob break down their tips for picking for used diecasts and how to track your collection to avoid those pesky duplicate buys. Finally, keep an eye out for the keyword of the day for a chance to win one of Fireball Tim's coloring books featuring legendary voice actor Rob Paulsen.
