The One And Only SidewaysKing75 or SK75
Creator: Chris Dickinson
Country: United Kingdom


Chris Dickinson, better known as SK75 or SidewaysKing75, is not just a talented custom diecaster but someone we’re proud to call a friend. Our connection with Chris goes back to 2018, years before Diecast Heroes was even a concept. When we first visited his studio in the UK, it wasn’t just a garage—it was a creative haven where diecast dreams came to life. For Tony, it was especially nostalgic, as Chris lives close to where he grew up.
Chris’s journey into diecast customization is as authentic as his creations. It all began when he stumbled upon some old Matchbox cars in his garage—a discovery that reignited his childhood love for model cars.
Sharing the Wealth of Knowledge
One thing that has always stood out about Chris is his willingness to share his knowledge. Through his YouTube channel, SidewaysKing75, he offers tutorials, tips, and a behind-the-scenes look at his custom builds. It’s no wonder he’s inspired so many in the diecast community. His focus isn’t just on creating stunning models but also on helping others unlock their own creative potential.
His Heart is in Every Project
Some of Chris’s standout creations include limited-edition replicas inspired by motorsport legends, like the Ken Block Gymkhana series. His attention to detail and ability to merge authenticity with creativity is second to none. Whether it’s custom decals, intricate garage kits, or fully hand built models, Chris pours his heart into every project and you can see and feel that as soon as you hold his creations in your hands.
For us, Chris’s story is deeply inspiring. Watching him evolve from rediscovering a childhood passion to becoming one of the most respected names in diecast customization has been a privilege. His work embodies the spirit of the diecast community—creativity, dedication, and a love for cars.
