keep them or give them away

A little of both actually.
Most I have the room to keep around though I have "loaned" some to Veterans Groups in the past.
A few I have given away as gifts.

I keep them but never two of the same type. I usually give the previous one away.

Mostly put them on display, but on occasion I will give one I built to someone.

Some of both.

I usually keep mine and display them (bad ones toward the back) but I've given quite a few away to family and friends, especially children. They get a kick out of them. I mainly build for the fun of it, but a few are for pure interest of the subject.

I have kept all my 120mm fiqures as they do not take up a lot of room, one advantage of this is I can see how far I have come since starting to build fiqures.

As for my armor collection this has not been a problem due to them all going missing during one of my many moves (boy was that a sad time). I have given some completed models away to make room for new ones.

Just a follow-up....

I received a package yesterday from my wife's uncle who I built the GMC 6X6 for .... in it was an older book on the Mustang (but one I didn't have)...and a note:

" Hello Mike-

Enclosed is a airplane book you might like and add to your library. My friends all admire the GMC 6X6 model you made me and I think that's great."

As far as I am concerned, he could've just sent the note and it would've made me as happy as I was to see the book. Just doing something like that for someone who was in the war and experiencing in real time what we recreate using plastic, paint, and clay-- well...it just feels right.

I do a little of both. I build them to make me happy, but if it makes someone else happier, it's theirs. I can always build another! I also have some on loan to local libraries, a couple of museums,and two schools.
