I just finished watching this video and enjoyed it very much. It is always nice to hear about the important people in this hobby. I have had email exchanges with Gianluigi during the purchasing of his publications, and he has always been very helpful. I look forward to interviews with more of the important 1/43 folks.

How many models does he has in his collection? Does he also collect resin or just metal?

Like John Roberts, he is a nice humble man who loves our hobby. I believe he said in the video that he has 1300 Brooklin models which is simply phenomenal. I have his books and find them to be a great reference to all things Brooklin.

A very entertaining and interesting interview John; thank you very much. I attended several Brooklin Anniversaries many years ago and met many lovely people, including Amanda, Roger Mateo and Brian Harrison who Gianluigi mentions. I wonder if I missed meeting him at those well attended gatherings?
