Live and Let Diecast

In this episode, Lloyd, Ryan and Scott are joined by Patrick Strong of Model Citizen Diecast. Lloyd discusses yet another 1/18 Norev Mercedes, Ryan has some big, but tiny 1/64 American Longroofs, Scott has a Jadi TVR and some Greenlight classic Monster Trucks, and Patrick tells us about some new products at Model Citizen. For the roundtable we talk about what we would make if we had our own model car company.

In this episode, Ryan and Lloyd are joined by Scott to discuss their own opinions on wants vs needs when it comes to model car collecting and purchasing. 

This episode is just Ryan and Lloyd bantering about some recent model purchases and some diecasts that we're looking forward to in the near future as well as what we wish manufacters will make down the road.

In this episode, Lloyd guides Dan and Ryan through some of the exciting announcements from this years model car toy fair in Germany!

We're back! After a bit of a hiatus, Lloyd, Dan and Ryan return with a podcast reminiscing about some of our best buys and our worst mistakes in the past year. 

This is a special episode of the Live and Let Diecast podcast. The good people at DNA Collectibles in Switzerland sent us two models to evaluate. In short, we were impressed. But whatever are we to do with these models? We cannot in good conscience keep them for ourselves. So, you'll need to listen to the podcast, read the review on The Hooniverse, and read the review at the Live and Let Diecast blog. Listen and look for code words. You can then email us the code words in a sentence to be considered for a chance to win. All of the details are on the podcast, so give this one a listen.

It’s just the three of us: Ryan, Lloyd and Dan. We discuss whether we need others’ opinions before deciding on what we buy. We also go off on a tangent about 3D printing parts for diecast cars. 

Our latest purchases or featured models:
Ryan: 1/18" Poudy Volvo V60 T5 Station Wagon
Lloyd: 1/18 CMC 1964 Porsche 901 (911)
Dan: 1/43 Dinky Matchbox Collectibles 1969 Triumph Stag

This is a shorter episode featuring Scott Nadeau, Lloyd and me. We discuss the results of ///M Week on Live and Let Diecast, LeMans, and Radwood NorCal. It's a fun episode and I think you'll really enjoy it!
