Posted January 22, 20187 yr I think I have enough F1 models designed by RoscoPC or not? In the living room, LED lighting for lower models from LEGO: I know the wheels are hanging, inherent to the design and display solution. Otherwise not possible to have 12 in the living room. I will find a solution some day. I don't like the 3 missing models much, so that's why I did not build them. May be I will add Luca's next model but it has to be spectacular :) Edited December 31, 20186 yr by Berthil
January 22, 20187 yr  I think you're good! That's an amazing collection there, I cannot imagine how much those all cost...

So with display method and all lights and decals it's well over 500 Euro per model.

Transport wasn't easy but I managed to fit all of this in a MINI :) Here 9 in custom made boxes. the two others I had in the front seat.
January 22, 20187 yr Very nice collection! I have looked into building my two favorite (top left corner) but all the rare pieces put it on hold. My personal favorite older F1 car is actually the Honda by Nico. Have you seen that one?
January 22, 20187 yr Super glorious display. I can't agree with leaving out the Brabham fan car though. I've built that one and it is awesome. You do have a couple of the newer ones that I never got around to. I had a display at BrickCon in 2012.

Thanks! And thank you for the excellent building instructions, a lot of work! It's just that I don't like the Brabham fan car color scheme with the red and dark blue. I appreciate the cars history and quality of build by Luca but I have to make choices although it already has gotten out of hand :) This was my display at LEGO World in Utrecht 2016. Because of limited available space (everything is small and cramped in The Netherlands except average tallness of Dutch people) I kept them on their standard except one. Every day of the 7 day event I  displayed a different car in the spotlights. It was a magnet for men with small boys as you also must have noticed during BrickCon 2012. Most asked question: ' where is Max verstappen?'. So if I display again I build Luca's last Ferrari in black, modify it a bit and put Redbull decals on it just to avoid that question a thousand times a day :)Â

January 22, 20187 yr Very impressive collection!  I'm in the process of collecting the first two (Lotus and Westgate) and would also consider the Tyrell in time.  Expensive mocs because of the rare parts but totally worth it as your collection is magnificient!  Thanks for sharing the photos... The awe struck faces in those pictures say it all!
January 23, 20187 yr thats a beautiful collection and display case. I've only got the FW14B and MP4/4, they're broken up in their boxes at the moment as I don't have anywhere in the house to put them on permanent display which also means i've never printed off and added the stickers. I'm still hoping one day he'll do the Lotus 97T and that will then complete my trilogy of great F1 cars
December 31, 20186 yr Author Holiday well spend, got IKEA Detolf No. 7, sprayed it silver and put the RoscoPC Matra MS80 in it. Also cleaned all other cabinets inside and outside. One spot left for model No. 14.
