Like many, I have to limit my hobby of collecting scale models as the I would end up with a debt bigger than some countries! I am sure I am not alone.
Rod, generally limits his collection to Group 5, I try to limit mine to cars I have been involved with. Michel, aka ‘mtrspeed’ from Brasil has no such limitations.
He posted images of his amazing collection of F1 models on the F1 Modelling Website forums earlier this month.
Michel has over 1400 1/20 scale kits in his collection, with 500 of them already built by friend Alessandro Ribeiro over a 12 year period.
Good to see he has re-created the Marlboro Rocket Red correctly….and they have the cigarette logos on them! Maybe not PC today, but it is part of Formula One’s heritage!
Hop over to the F1M forum for more stunning images from Michel’s collection including some shots of the rest of his house, including Cheqered Flag Kitchen floor! You also get to see his F1 lighting…..

Effin' hell, that's one crazy house. Looks like he's also got some F1 wheels, a driving suit, steering wheel. That's definitely on the edge of over the top! Love the JPS Lotus rear wing on his wall though...
LOL! "After I got divorced 9 years ago..."
massive.. what a collection.. don't let the kids loose on these my man..
That's mindblowing.
Love the black/gold John Player Special Elf unsure if they are Renault or Lotus powered
And then a CFD technician walked in and said "TO THE WIND TUNNEL!!!!!".
Mmm look at all that plastic and resin!
So thats where all the Tamiya 1/20 models went (Hunt, Senna, & Andretti).
Impressive!
Now that's an amazing collection!
shame he was only a pit lane toilet cleaner
My God, just a amazing collection!
I see websites such as Jalopnik are now covering this.....a week after Speedhunters!
