They continue to multiply...

I thought I was the only one out there with a "Shelf of Doom" or "I'll set this aside while...." pile. I seem to have started more kits in the last couple of months than ever.
I'm still working on the 1/35 Challenger 2.
I've started working with some pigments, shaders and oils to add some weathering. I'll get some further pics taken of this.
I find a lot of the time, I'll get a kit to a point where I can see the end, then I shoot some paint or primer and then it gets set aside to cure. Often, I've found when I get into a building groove, setting the kit aside to dry, I just want to continue building so out comes another kit. I found this while building the Challenger. Now the following kits have all been started to a point and I'm ready to have them completed to crack something else open.
Accurate Miniature's P-51A 1/48 - fuselage and wings have been mated, working on puttying the seams and ready for initial primer.
Trumpeter's 1/48 F-100D Thunderbird - filled, sanded, primed, filled, sanded, primed and shot with initial coat of GX 2 Gloss Black
Academy's 1/72 B-52H - main construction completed and initial priming done
GWH 1/72 SU-35S - 98% done, needs final decals and addition of small bits
Tamiya 1/48 Mosquito Mk ? - base camo complete, partial weathering, contemplating making masks for roundels and other markings
Tamiya F-16C Block 50 - main construction complete, base priming done, working on touching up seam lines around the nose, hoping for paint by this weekend.
