Berthil Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) 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, 2018 by Berthil Quote
Aventador2004 Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Awesome collection!!!! How much do you estimate was one only? Quote
Leonardo da Bricki Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 I think you're good! That's an amazing collection there, I cannot imagine how much those all cost... Quote

It's more precise than an estimate, I keep an Excel with all Bricklink orders and overhead costs like IKEA displays, LED lighting and model decals by Luca. So with display method and all lights and decals it's well over 500 Euro per model. Quote

That's right, I had 11 with me back then. 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. Quote
Nebulaire Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 In an old mini, it's a challenge, but in a new mini, it is very easy ! Quote
technic_addict Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 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? Quote
Blakbird Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 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. Quote

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 :) Quote

KD123 Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 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! Quote
Seasider Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 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 Quote
Berthil Posted December 31, 2018 Author Posted December 31, 2018 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. Quote
KD123 Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 ?... Ultimate RoscoPC Collection Series! Quote
Aventador2004 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Nice collection! What is the 14th model? Quote

Only Luca (RoscoPC) knows :) Although I'm thinking about designing one myself, preferably the Alfa Romeo Alfetta 159 of Fangio. After building 13 models I might have a go at it myself :) Quote
