This is an interesting thread. The vast majority of mine are beta builds of my own kits, often with flaws of varying severity. As a result most are stripped of reusable parts and disposed of. The larger ones make good kindling in the wood stove! :D

I build up a collection that, occasionally, I have to "weed" -- the prototypes, test builds, and damaged ones get thrown out every so often. I tend to build the same model a few times when I'm designing something, so the earlier iterations are not so important.
I am, however, proud to say that my very first printed model (Cassini) is still extant in my bedroom. It was built in 1998, and it has actually held up well.

I hoard mine everywhere. I have around 90 to 100 of my 1/200 scale planes now on my shef attached to my bed's headboard, around 200 to 400 (lost count forever ago) of other people's in drawers, and a few of my prototpyes from old designs in a little stack where I perform research on them (paper jet "engines," detachable missiles, inernal bomb bays, the usual
 )

Most of my models are built for playing wargames, usually BattleGround WWII by Easy Eights.
A few are built by request for someone who knows that I build papermodels.

my 250 plus models were in boxes in my loft. When we moved a few months ago about half - mainly the big and very big models ended up at the local recycling yard, although some were given to others at the site.
The rest, after a lot of repairs following the move ended up in my new loft except for a few smaller ones that I display in my new (and improved) work room. I have also added a reminder of my young days when I hung plastic planes from the ceiling - now it's a few of the birdmobile models - I intend to add a few more .... sometime.

I usually keep the beta builds (uncolored ones) until I get a final colored build that I'm happy with. The beta builds generally get trashed although a friend of mine wanted my Enterprise TOS beta build and even had me sign it! The final builds I always end up giving them away.
Best Regards,
