Just take pictures of all your models and keep the pictures only.
That's the surest way to see them at their best conditions.
Ya know, it hurts to see a wing broken or a landing gear strut gone!
My plastic models have a shelf life of about five years (I get rid of old ones when they're no longer up to snuff of improving skills). I can only imagine how short-lived the paper stuff will be.

I never considered their transitory nature until I read this. Kind of makes me sad.
