Well, I used to sell them on EBay after 3 or 4 years, but people were so fussy, dishonest and so on I gave up.
I have a loft full of built models.

Scratch built.

Did you not know Haddock he comes out of his Tardis and is a Time Lord who can change time - we only have 24 hours in a day , he has 4,673 hours in each day !!!  That is why he can also store 674,234,987 models in the loft of  the Tardis - its expanding space !!!!

Haddock.
I started it last week between paint drying on the Thornycroft, and it just grew over the weekend.
I am only posting completed models now. Here it is with the bowser.
Should I go back to showing the build as well?

Yes please - I learn a lot from how you scratch build your models.

Next it will be something to ferry the senior staff about and something for the flyboys to speed about in - I hope anyway, this may prove to be "A Bridge too Far".
So something resembling a Humber Staff Car and a little sporty something.

Scratch built, sort of generic flyboys sports car, based on an MG.
It sits a bit high on the wheels, but it will look alright in the background as part of a scene I think.
Photographs are very cruel, eyes seem a lot kinder.
