In this first year, we are inducting four members. We wanted to be sure to establish the level of achievement we had in mind in creating this hall of fame. Each of these first four took the scale model hobby and associated industry in important new directions. In future years, at most 2 can enter.

Qualified nominees may include entrepreneurs, designers, inventors, publishers and collectors. Election will be made by 10 individuals invited each year representative of these same groups.

Nominations are encouraged from anyone and should be posted throughout the year on one of the Diecast Zone forums.
