I've got several on my workbench right now.

Airfix 1/72 scale FW190a8 in the scheme of Pips Priller.
Revell 1/72 F-104 Starfighter I'm going to paint to match one in a photo with me.
Revell 1/25 Reynard CART race car.
Airfix 1/72 F-16A Falcon I started just after Sept. 11, 2001, but didn't like the way I painted it so I abandoned it for now.
AMT/Ertl Pre-painted 1/25 Dodge Viper R/T for rainy day modeling (I keep it stored in the box in between stages).
AMT/Ertl Klingon Bird of Prey that I may to try to customize with a lighting kit, also kept in its box in between stages.
Revell trawler sitting in a display case waiting for me to finish painting it.
Lindberg Jolly Roger pirate ship, primed and waiting for me to start painting and glueing it together.

and of course, three big boxes of models that I opened, examined, test-fit, and put back in their boxes for future projects.

If I had a digital camera, I'd send a photo.

I have a half-baked P61 black widow on the shelf, no time to do it though, without the kids trying to "help" if you parents out there know what I mean...

I did an SR-71 that came out very well.. but flat black models are always easier to paint.  Unfortunately, it did not survive the movers.

Mostly though, I prefer to work with model cars.

I have in various states of cons/des-truction:
Spit XIV
109 K
109 B
I-16

Other than that I have like 15 various untouched AFV's:
Sherman, T-34, Panther, Tiger, PzIV, Jagdpanther, T-26, M-24, M-48, M113, Leopard II,...

I also have in their boxes a Lambda class shuttle, an X-Wing and Darth Vader's Tie.

What i´m lacking is time.

BTW, 3d computer modelling is almost as rewarding, takes less space and smells better. I just started doing a Skyraider:

Working on an 1/48th Me-410, 1/48th A-36 (Airfix kit) and an 1/72nd Me-310/510 (Luft '46 Project). But all are on hold till we find a house to move into so I can have a real work area.

Sirloin,

If you don't mind me asking how much did that 1/6 cost you and are you going to try and put an engine in it to make it flyable?

Very Cool SirLoin. I have a friend who bought one but did not get the engine and radio controls yet. He asked me if I wanted to buy it but I did not know how much I should offer him. He has not done anything with it at all and has just taken a job in Russia and can not take it with him.
