How many "in progress" kits are sitting on your workbench?

[Joe C-P]

ON the workbench? Well, technically, 2, one real world HMS Jersey, and one whiff.
In boxes scattered throughout the closet? I honestly do not know. Over a dozen, some I started over 30 years ago. I've been working my way through those, and have finished 6 or 7 since the beginning of this year.
And I've only bought 1 (one!) new model this year, though I'm about to try out Shapeways for a couple unusual designs.

A metric $hit-tonne.

20 to 30 years? You got me beat - I've just restarted a couple that have been in a 'box-o-doom' for only 15-20, so they're spring chickens by comparison...
Still haven't finished the current projects, of course - though you weren't expecting anything different, were you?

9 plus another 4 boxed up.
