Hi everyone I am Bernard Rakesh and am starting this blog about collecting scale model diecast vehicles. Like every other kid in his childhood, I was fascinated by toy cars and that's when this passion of collecting scale model diecast cars started.I gave up my older collection several years ago but kept some with me for Nostalgic reasons. When I started to work, I felt there was something missing and a void that was getting bigger everyday because I gave up my collection.
Eventually I started to collect again from 2011 and have a comprehensive collection now. I am glad to blog about collecting diecast in the scales from 1:55 to 1:87 and have started this community driven blog for fellow collectors who share the same passion as myself who are from or residing in Chennai/Tamilnadu.
