I don't really do much in the way of scale unless you count the ones in the pictures below(Some are kits and the rest are scratch built from plans also this is not all of them unfortunately they are packed away and difficult to get to) Sorry about the dust.
I mainly enjoy making toys to play with as it gives me so much pleasure to see the kids playing with them.

Another wow, Derek. After looking at your's and Mel's work, I can see just how far I still have to go. My simple little VW Beetle is in a whole different league. It barely counts as a scale model - more of a toy. I'd better pull my finger out.

(I'll get back onto the VW soon, and start a WIP thread. It's been sitting idle for months.)

I need to think more about making some stuff to sell, too. So far it's all $$ out with none coming back in. I might have to make a few small carvings to sell, instead of purely for fun.
