I do models but... What now?

I recently have been doing some home-made models of vehicles oriented to a WWII style, it's entertaining to make them but after 4 consecutives i just don't know what to do, I made a tank, an SPG, a truck (and it's very own towed AA gun!) and my personal favorite: A flamethrower tank!

Now that I'm out of ideas i would like to get some suggestions, it can be anything... Except planes, they are really painful to complete and the results are kinda sad :(

While I wait for ideas I will find a way to put images of the completed ones (it's hard now because I'm wrote this whit my cellphone only :T)

some of my models use only cardboard (a special kind only found on my laptop's box NOT the normal one), or specific kind of hard paper whit a rough side, i cannot remember its traduction to english but is known here as "papel cascarón" all of them started from zero (making every part at the moment of its assembly and using lots of hot silicone so it gets a solid foundation)

Now i think i will go for that french 277mm gun, it look cute :P

A friend of mine used to make paper/cardboard models of planes in his youth.

They were very detailed too.

It's amazing what you can make with "simple" paper/cardboard!

I'm looking forward to your future model!

I thought you meant plastic model kits, but this is from scratch? Wow. I do aircraft models from time to time, but I also get kinda bored, I'd rather go to space than paint pieces and glue them together, it kinda disappoints me that the end product doesn't keep me going, lol

Now I'm going to respond all your questions

1- 100% of my models were based of my own drawings my favorite was the "Dermond RT", it was supposed to look like a German half-track but endec better than expected even if I failed to make it like it was drawn (also including its towed gun that was too big for the back)

2- I was going to get a Bf-109 kit to make the F4 variant... But I forgot about ordering it

3-I can go whit anything that looks realistic so I liked those mech :P

Today after a lazy weekend I decided to complete this little guy, a TS-10

Now im Focusing on a Italian design of midget submarine, it's going to be my first naval vehicle and its supposed to be my training for a regular submarine based off the USS X-1. The only thing I fear of these are the rounded sides of them so I hope it doesn't end in a mess like my IL-4 :C
