It's been another tough year. Still, it had its high moments. Much of the year was consumed by matters-Brooklin for me and Kelly. We helped start the club with a ton of help from a lot of people. NABCC 1 was a massive effort that once again required the help of a whole lot of friends and acquaintances. While Brooklin dominated my time, I'd be remiss in neglecting the fact that we seem to be in the golden age of 1/43 with a wider variety of high-quality replicas coming from makers like Goldvarg, Matrix, Autocult, GLM, Stamp, and others that share our passion for accuracy and beauty.
On top of all that, Kelly and I are so thankful for this community and the awesome folks who participate in the forums, the shows, and some of the private, personal messages we get to share. Here's looking forward to an even more exciting new year!. While we're excited about what's ahead, we want to pause for a moment and tell you all how much we appreciate you and pray that all the blessings surrounding these holidays come to rest upon each of you and your families.
Merry Christmas, folks!

John, Even though I have not been collecting 1/43 scale model cars that long, I also have come to appreciate all the work you do, and the work Kelly does to support this hobby. I wish you and Kelly a Merry Christmas and Happy and healthy New Year.

John, I can sincerely say that this hobby and forum would not be anywhere near as interesting without your dedication and passion for models and 1:1 scale cars.
From your 'My Take' videos to your never ending involvement here, you really make this great hobby even greater!
I think I can speak for everyone here and say thank you from the bottom of our hearts and wish you and Kelly a very merry Christmas and happy new year.

Merry Christmas John and Kerry. Thanks to you, John and Tony moderating, it has been a fantastic and active year for The Diecast Zone.
There have literally been hundreds of contributors to the zone. I've been eager to check it several times daily and have greatly enjoyed the content and comments. While interests vary greatly, I hope that we have all expanded our knowledge far beyond our original expertise and interests. You, John have been both a contributor and a catalyst.
Many Thanks to all who have made this ONE OUTSTANDING WEBSITE! May you all have a great Season and be ready to jump optimistically and eagerly into 2022.

John:
In my 55+ years of collecting white metal models, I have never seen a more dedicated, knowledgable and skilled spokesman for our hobby. You certainly outdid yourself in 2021 - Quicktakes, forming the NABCC, and heading up the Allentown festivities and our 1/43rd Diecast Forum which I view every day! Thank to you and Kelly for all that you do for us. Have a very Merry Christmas and the Best New Year Ever!!!
