copy the pictures onto a backup drive.

then, either throw the models away, or to be more ceremonious you can burn them publicly.  burning them might help provide some closure.   you can give a speech while they go up in flames.

Keep them until you have completed your architectural education.

Then, or along the way, photograph them and back up those photos.

Then, alone, or with your friends, jump on them from a low wall or wherever to hear them go "crunch."

Here is what I would do.

Document all of them obviously. If you can find the space I would store them until you are done with school, or at least for a year after each one is done. it is possilbe that you may find them valuable for re-documentaiton when you do your undergrad portfolio. After that you may wish to keep one or two but it's not really that relevant, I might burn them as effigies.

I thought that's what your parent's attic was for !

Maybe .... I dunno if they are even Good enough for the attic ha ha ha ha 

I Kind of want to burn them  

HAHA burn em down!!!

Shit is shit - next time just make models that deserve to be museum pieces in their own right so they have personal meaning and you know they have meaning to others.  

You answered your own question.

Then, it's definitely time for a "Bonfire of the Vanities".  Have fun !

What about  The ephemerality of architecture ? Shouldn't I be disconnected from my physical manifestations ? Even if I made the most perfect thing I want to be able to burn it right ? I am an ideas man ... Can a 3-D printer resurrect any model ? 

I hang them on my walls. At least the ones i like.

learn to let go.  nothing lasts forever.  everything dies.  that's the nature of impermanence.  that's the circle of life.  if you can't burn your models, you're too tied to your own ego, your own self-identity, and your past.  you need to move on.  it was never meant to last.

let go.  if you can't burn your models, you'll be tied to a misconception of yourself and you won't be able to move on and learn new things.

blow them up with fire crackers and small amounts of flamable liquid....real small amounts of flamable liquid....wear safety glasses, hearing protection and fireproof gear if doing so. oh ya keep a fire extinguisher handy just in case things get out of hand.....Main thing is have fun doing it.  Oh ya film it  so you can look at it later in life and say.....what a  nerd I was blowing up models.

Yes, proof that one's models are not a "special snowflake," not even if they are white.

At the beginning of each term at my school, we gathered all the models still hanging around the studio from previous classes and placed them on the lawn next to the architecture building. Then, we'd go up to the 4th floor and take turns dropping a 20 lb. flywheel that always was around the studio on to these models -- it was spectacular fun.

Sell them on etsy

Put them outside so that they may become Centers for Ants.

I would keep them until you need them for warmth. Once you are full submersed in the industry, and can't pay your rent or utility bill, you will wish you kept them for burning.

"next time just make models that deserve to be museum pieces in their own right so they have personal meaning and you know they have meaning to others"

Ha! Good satire.

Maybe you can recycle/reuse some of the materials: cut some of the large pieces and reuse them for another model?

wait til the 4th of July and blow them to pieces!!!!!
