How many 'partials' at any given time?

Ok - so it sounds like many of us don't exactly start one project and finish before going on to the next - so how many 'partial-built' models do you have going typically and right now?
Personally I've got the BF109 shown in my build thread, the Mclaren MP4/22 formula one model for when I am up to modeling but am at a stall point with the BF109, I've got the WHV Lutjens on hold (build thread on CM.net - but I lost interest for now), I've got the Wrebbit Mercedes 500K in process stashed also on hold due to lost interest - and a plastic 'Visible V8' model stopped for the same reason. In all honesty the only 2 I consider 'active' are the BF109 and the MP4/22. I'll finish one (both?) of these before I start onto anything new. It'll take some effort to get me interested in any of the other 3 in the near future.

Typically, I have maybe one partial and the one I'm working on. I alternate between them to prevent boredom/impatience... (And grief from The Missus)

But there have been so many great releases lately that I have the one I'm working on (Jan Ruckr's Endo-Rifle) and 4 or 5 others that got back burnered...

So far, The Missus must not be totally aware of the situation as I haven't received "the look"...

Oh dear.
I make it a point to finish each one in turn as my life is so full of unfinished projects otherwise that it's nice to have something, albeit small and probably meaningless to most people come to a conclusion.
Anyone want to buy a Nash Metropolitan project? Or a Datsun Fairlady? Or....?<G>

Three survivors in plain view....1:250 enlargements of the JSC USS Ward ahd the German Z-10 DD, and a design attempt at a 1:33 B-58. They are going to have to sit collecting dust until the 1:1 build is done, though.

Can I count the 4 "project" boats in the back yard, the motorcycle/trike build on the porch, the unbuilt kit plane in the garage, and the car awaiting an engine in the driveway? Other than those, I have 5 unfinished paper models.

I'm taking the Fifth on this one. Or drinking it? You cannot make me confess. I used to take pride that I would totally finish a model before starting on the next. Then I had difficulties with one and started something else. And so on. BTW I don't count models that I no longer intend to finish against my total. So there.
