I have just about the same amount of models and just about out of room. I am in the process now of packing away quite a few. I just took down all the boxes (holy sh*t it filled my whole work area and then some) and so far have boxed approx 40 models. It takes up a lot of time. I used the print out of my collection from DAC and marked those that are boxed. I have identified what I want to keep out on display and the remainder I will sell. I am undecided as to sell on E-Bay or get a table at the EWR show in Sept. I was hoping there would be a IAD show this summer but I haven't heard anything. I have dabbled with 1/200 and will wait for what fits my new collecting criteria in 1/400 and that might keep my interest . The other day I received six new models, each one ranks up there with some of the best models in my collection.
