1/20 F1 car kit collection


I just fainted a little.  Michel, a Brazilian, got a divorce and decided to turn his house into a 1/20 scale Formula One shrine.  He bought 1,400 kits of F1 cars and had his friend Alessandro build them.  500 have been completed so far.  

Feel free to bookmark this page anytime your wife/significant other complains that you have too many model cars cluttering the house.

Can't decide if it's awesome or a sign of losing it... :)

Holy shit, Kitman! A valuable little posting, as you suggest, to help my better half get my very modest and sensible model collection into perspective.

@Ozmac: I can't help but think your collection is similar in size.

@Kashgar216: no, my collection is minuscule compared to this guy's. I could fit everything I've got into just one of his big 1:20 F1-filled cabinets. That's why he's such a valuable Exhibit A in my defence should my wife ever begin prosecutions.

Do you have more pictures of this un-Fucking-believable collection? =D

@Anon: Unfortunately, no. Incredible, right?
