She don’t care the thing is out of tune and it’s really a piece of junk. 20 years ago she had to have it now she wants to get rid of it so I made a Millitary shrine out of the top of it but it’s getting crowded. I may have to migrate to another room
I too have gotten to the point of "if it fits in the hole I build it". Have tried to have a cull in the past and find it more difficult now than I did as a kid..In those days I had an air riffel.
I do however have a couple of places that are taken up with the stash, So the plane is to move the stash under the bench and build display cases where the shelves are.....

Chris. It’s a upright but it’s out of tune and half the keys don’t work. My wife can play a little but my sister in law is the best

I rarely keep them. I've given most of them away to friends kids. I've kept a few I'm particularly happy with but no many.

What to do with and how to store or display finished models will always present a problem. My car models go into a display cabinet and get rotated in and out of boxes periodically. Surprisingly, display cabinets are not dustproof! When I get them out I use a soft makeup blusher brush that I purloined from my other half. It is brilliant for getting into nooks and crannies to dust the models without dislodging anything.
You aircraft guys have most problems especially with flimsy undercarriage parts liable to breakage.

Every year I do a spring clean the odd one or two that I do like gets boxed up but 90% always go to charity.
So far I have not run out of display cabinet space.....nor do I intend to. If needs be I will just acquire or build another cabinet (I currently have three) I simply do not have the heart to box up or bin something I have poured so much time and effort into.

VERY NICE GOIN Rick nice to see them on display
I did have a clear out of some of the bigger dios, made sure I took lots of photos before putting them into the attic. Another one I took apart, kept the models and threw the building away.
It's not good , what would you do if you couldn't build any more because you had no room, pack up !

So far mine are in display cabinets and glass box displays. I prefer displaying what I've built rather than hiding them away. Also it keeps my building and collecting to a minimum...can't believe I just said that. 
The dioramas are stacked on top of each other in their glass cases. I'm lucky SWMBO has given me the landing to display my stuff.
Cheers,
Richard

Most of mine are either used as practice pieces or in most cases thrown out after a while

I found rubber suckers allowed me to display aircraft over the shelves, two builds in one space .

Are the heavy duty padlocks to keep them safe?
