This Is Where It All Began

How It All Started - My Story Before Vid K. scales (pt.1)

I grew up in a small country in Europe, and from a very young age I had this restless energy inside me. I was never the type to just sit still and wait for things to happen. I was always looking for the next opportunity, I was wired differently. While other kids were just playing, I was already thinking about business and thinking about how to turn something into something more. I started reselling early... used phones, electronics, random stuff I found, just to see if I could. Not because I had to, but because the hustle felt natural to me.

Sport was also a huge part of that and it still is very important part of my life. I didn't fully understand it at the time, but now looking back, I can see how sport shaped me into the person I am today. The discipline, the challenges, the ability to lose and come back stronger. It gave me all of that without me even realising it. And the biggest lesson I took from it? Growth is uncomfortable. You either choose to face challenges constantly and push through them, or you stay exactly where you are. There is no middle ground.

Around the same time, I got into photography and videography as a hobby at first. I started shooting for free, just to build experience and get my name out there. I reached out to hundreds of people. Seriously, hundreds. Most ignored me. Some said no. But some said yes, and those yeses opened doors I didn't even know existed. That period taught me something I carry with me to this day: Relationship, being your true self & communication are everything. The more people you know, the more doors you have to knock on.

Through all of it, there’s one thing that never changed. Cars. Cars have always been a part of my life in a way that'shard to explain to someone who doesn't feel it. It's not just about horsepower or looks or flex. It's the emotion, the design, the story behind every model. So it made complete sense that I fell deeply into collecting scale model cars. For me, a 1:18 die-cast wasn't a toy. It was a piece of art.

I started an Instagram page dedicated to my collection. Just for fun at first. Sharing videos, connecting with other enthusiasts, enjoying the community. Soon a few of my videos went viral.

The comments and DMs also started flooding in, and I remember sitting there reading through them thinking: wait, there's something here. People were reaching out asking if I could do a custom replica of their own car. Their exact Porsche, their exact colour, their exact spec, in small scale. Something personal that no store could ever give them. That was the moment the idea clicked. I started customising the models by hand, one car at a time, pouring everything I had into each one, with all the handcrafting skills I had. Then slowly & patiently the requests kept coming. And coming... and coming.

Part two is where things got intense!
