About Sentock Diecast

From a student project to a 1:64 diecast shop

Sentock Diecast is a shop for 1:64 scale model cars in Hanoi. It began as the graduation project of seven FPT Polytechnic students who all loved model cars — and kept going after the grades were in.

How it started

Sentock Diecast was the graduation project of a seven-person team at FPT Polytechnic Hanoi, supervised by lecturer Phan Thị Dung and led by Trần Chí Thành. The team wanted to build a place made for people who collect static model cars.

Everyone on the team collected models themselves, and they felt Vietnam had few places offering both a wide choice of models and a friendly community to talk about them. After the project was defended, Sentock carried on as a real shop.

We focus on 1:64 scale cars from makers such as Mini GT, Kaido House, Tarmac Works, INNO64, Pop Race and Hot Wheels.

What you'll find at Sentock

Run by a collector

Trần Chí Thành led the Sentock project team and has kept growing Sentock since graduating in Digital Marketing from FPT Polytechnic Hanoi.

He builds the website, writes the content and looks after the Sentock community himself. For him, model cars are a hobby first, not just something to sell.
