Fantastic!!! I've just shown these to my wife so maybe I can display more than the 3 I have in the house at a time. To answer your question, I only display 1 on each side of the room. I like seeing one at a time, then the others in the collection which are carefully stored in shoe boxes are put on display as another one goes back in the storage. It keeps it fresh for me.

Your display is a mecca for us modellers but by the look of your 'to do pile' I think you should build some more cabinets, a good analogy would be that quote from the movie 'Jaws' ''Were gonna need a bigger boat''

Thanks for sharing

Wow Michel! That's a truly amazing collections of all the major teams throughout the FIA history.

Do you also like the classics from the "Golden Age" in the 50s and 60s? I just thought those racers combined with your awesome display will truly bring visitors over to look at all those stunning museum collection models. I know lots of people will pay just to have a glimpse.

Very impressive collection, and what a great room. I love the coffee table and that 6 wheel Williams does it for me.

Hi 43rdMichael,
The total number of 1/20 kits of my private collection surpassed 1400 kits! Nearly 500 out of them are built... Alessandro knows that he will build kits for me until the end of his (or my) life!!!

Cheers!

Hi gtziaf,
All these masterpieces were built by Alessandro Ribeiro during the past 12 years therefore I will ask him to share some photos of his "atelier"!
He is a real artist!!!
