I suspect that many of us have multiple projects going and got to counting up the projects that I have started but not yet finished.  To qualify, a project must be in process in some way, not just an open kit where you looked thru the parts.

I currently have about 8 in the works.

Right now I'm forcing myself to stick to one build so at the moment I've only got one active project but there is one recently shelved build I want to get back on and another I am itching t start if I can find the hood I bought for it. If I were to count every build I've started and put away it would probably be over 100.

I have 3 projects that are about 99% done, just need a few more final details. Then I have 2 projects that are about 50% done, 2 projects that are 25% done, and 5 projects that have just barely been started. So about 13 total...

 Hmm Right now there is a extended gravel trailer. And a bunch of Payhauler parts.. The Snap Pete tridem is temp on the shelf needing the interior and a few finishing touches.

The other two snap Petes are back in the box. Surfing season is here. I have two weeks before I leave for a a month.Many more projects in boxes and plastic bins.

I tried to limit myself to only one project even though I have ideas for lots of others. But the truth is that I have three trucks "in the making". The AMT 359 California Hauler standing still for problems with the paint job and 1/35 scale Diamond waiting for a paint job to be done.

Recently I fully concentrate on my NASA Pete project. I didn´t take  pictures yet but the chassis of both Peterbilt and trailer are wired, painted and partly weathered.

I also broke the ban that I put on buying another kit. My newest kit is Italeri´s Peterbilt 378 day cab.

Usually I build just one at a time, stick with it till its done.

My 359 project is the exception, 99.5% is done.  Just the paintjob sucks and I've lost interest for now.  Maybe this winter it'll be finished.  All parts are done, probably need an hour or two to finish it.

Meantime, I'm in the middle of something else.

I've got 2 projects on the workbench. I have dozens in the planning/dreaming stages, and I keep adding to that list, but for actual glued parts and paint laid, just 2 - a 359 and that ol' Aeromax project.

I'm not a fast builder due to time constraints, so it is hard getting one done before I start another. But, considering that in the past year I have a new house and a new baby, and my new workbench has just opened for business, I'm doing well.

Meantime, I'm thinking ditto.  The last truck project looks finished from a distance, what a shame.  I know though from ship building days, here and there touch-ups are great for in-between projects, also for the dark and short winter days coming up.

Probably 15. Some I've lost interest in, some I'm waiting for ideas on a direction, some I am waiting on parts for, some just need final touches, and some I am working on. 

I tend to start "simple" projects like an out of the box build with little or no extra detailing, just something easy to break the builders block. And then I change direction and start adding custom scratch built accessories or giving it more detail or weathering. At this point it becomes just another build stuck in builders block.

I currently have eight projects on the "Shelf of Shame", and I'm in the process of cleaning them up & trying to finish them up to move them to the display shelves.  Here they are:

Revell 1974 Kenworth W900 - Started 1 DEC 10; AMT 1974 Kenworth K100 Daycab - Started 31 DEC 10; AMT 1992 Kenworth T600B - Started 1 DEC 11, AMT 1974 Kenworth K100 - Started 24 JAN 12; Revell 1984 Freightliner FLC120 - Started 29 MAY 12; Lindberg 2006 Dodge Charger - Started 12 OCT 12; Italeri 1985 IVECO-Magirus 140 25 DLK 23-12 - Started 3 MAR 13; and a Revell 1950 Bell H-13 Sioux - Started 12 SEP 15.

The Lindberg Charger is currently on the bench to get finished.  Not sure where I'll go after that.

While I usually only work on one project at a time, due to paint problems with a couple of cars, I currently have a '50 Cadillac, a '50 Oldsmobile, and a '32 Ford 5 window coupe in varied stages of work.

Too many to think about. At least a half dozen truck kits and probably 30-40 cars in various states of assembly. Even half my "completed" kits need a few more final touches to be considered done. I have add something fierce
