Hummer H1 Wagon and Humvee – Summer Outing

Every offroad driver holy grail is a hummer because of its DNA, which is from a Humvee(HMMWV – High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle) a military vehicle created by AM General primarily used by the United States Armed Forces. Also the civilian version is lighter so more nimble! Recently I got myself a Hummer H1 Wagon in black after waiting in a quee for so long!! Today I took them both along with my camera for an outing to see if this summer is any good for offroading in these iconic offroaders!... more

This year(2011) has been a sluggish year for me, both on collection numbers as well as the xDiecast activities!! But with the good number of car in the lot already and the import duties (that I paid on couple of models from US) made me rethink about the patten that I follow this hobby. Though the ticker keeps ticking, its all in the 1:64scale so not much for the site… This year the import numbers have came down (just 4) makin my 1:18 collection slowdown a little. This year has seen eleven in... more

Diecast Year 2011 – Bikes

I would consider this year as the best diecast year both for bikes and car! Though the number are not doing justice but the model are!! With only 9 bikes/scooters in 1:12 and one each on 1:6 and 1:10 scales. This is one tough photo shoot because I could not find any favorites! because every model is hand picked… List includes 2 AUTOart and 9 Maisto. If I am cornered to pick a best from my list, I would pick the 1:6 Rossi’s MotoGP Ducati. AUTOart Norton Commando 952 is the most expensive... more

Meet My Bad Boy Figurine # 3

This figurine is also a part of the bad boys collection called “Organic Badboys Glare of eyes Vol.4″. The name well suites these figurines as the eyes are very well detailed and they definitely show fury. This figurine has many a nick names and the most popular is “Topless”. This boy is all about macho stans and workout freakish body language. He would definitely fit a street fighter kind of diorama so I gave him a very famous bad boy’s toy “Hummer H1″. They... more

About Me

Hai I am Saran, I am a diecast collector by passion and web designer by profession and xDiecast.com is an attempt of merging them both. Since childhood I used to collect(actually play with) hotwheels, matchbox and a lot of radio controlled cars. This very recent passion driven hobby of diecast collection started with a Suzuki Hayabusa 1:12 scale which is actually gifted by my friend on my birthday.

Right now when I am writing this brief I hold 50 - 1:18 cars and 25 - 1:12 motorcycles and a lot of other scales too. I am not crazy collector in terms of number but I am indeed a super crazy collector as I used to wait and wait and wait for a particular model (like the recent RED SLS where the waiting period is six plus months) I don’t compromise and usually don’t give up…

Toping my list of cars is a BBR Enzo in my favorite color red of course. My collection will grow slowly as I am not going to rush to set my ticker on fire. An SLR update is quite visible with my pics and now eyeing a DIY photo studio which may bump the quality a little.
