I have never sold paper models, but I have sold wooden ship models. Three master sbips took me 4-5 years to build, smaller ships 1-2.

The value if you work it out in terms of time and materials is ridiculous for wooden ships, but when I was doing this I sold off models as I finished another and was able to get huge amounts for the large ones. And I mean huge. Because people wanted them!,

And that's the key - if someone wants one they will pay. I dont have enough money that I can actually afford to refuse. If someone offered me money for a paper model, I would probably take it rapidly!

But that will not stop me giving them away either! In fact many of the models I build are built with a specific recipient in mind.
