I think Diecast selling has paid for several houses - Not popularlity known he has agency for NZ For Minichamps and possibly Norev and supplies most of the hobby shops through NZ amongst others. He works for Interlock and often goes to Engineering Trade Shows representing them and in process has over the years also gone to Toy Trade shows particularly he has invite to German show and made lots of contacts through manufactures while working for Interlock....
