Diecast Model World
Diecast Model World is a glossy British magazine dedicated to the world of collecting diecast model vehicles.
The magazine is self-published by Mike Forbes, editor of Ian Allan Publishing's classic transport journal Vintage Roadscene and former editor of Diecast Collector Magazine.
The first issue of Diecast Model World featured articles on Bristol buses by Forbes, Corgi fairground models by Alistair Golding, vintage fire engines by Mike Pigott, Dinky forklifts by Roger Wynn, and Japanese models of Austin cars by Andrew Ralston. There was also a roundup of new products, a feature on classic models and their real-life counterparts by Malcolm Bates, and an article about promotional model trucks from supermarkets by Mike King. King died just prior to the magazine being released.[1]
Diecast Model World is published quarterly, in January, April, July and October. At present it is only available by direct subscription, although copies can be picked up at certain toy fairs and swapmeets.
