Just adding up those civilian on foot additions

 Anachronism               34 groups (408) (64 dead)

Lodgepole Creek        13 groups (156) + 1 group (168 + 28 dead)

Alkali Wells                13 groups (156) + 1 group (168 + 28 dead)

Muleskinner Canyon    6 groups (72) + 1 group (84 + 14 dead)

Mescalarilla                  6 groups (72) + 1 group (84 + 14 dead)

Dork's Claims               2 groups (24) + 1 group (36 + 6 dead)

Bull's Butt                     2 groups (24) + 1 group (36 + 6 dead)

"Environs"                   22 groups (264) + 1 group (276 + 46 dead)


105 groups = 1,260 + 210 dead (and those six prospector mules) (1,476 pieces including babes in arms)

Might remove the 'more modern' film crew and just leave the 'old fashioned' film crew as the 'roaming' group

Over half of the above is primed and ready for painting

Vehicles and more ready to paint

While working on another project I got a bit more done - all of the Peter Pig Mexican Revolution cars and pickup trucks are primed and ready to paint (some assembly of wind screens and adding heads still needs to get done).

Primed all 49 teepees and their associated pieces.

And primed one unit of armed men and women - with casualties - for Anachronism which I believe means all of that town's civilians are ready to paint.

Also primed a bunch of dead horses, saddle and draft, as well as horse skeletons and human skeletons.  Mostly meant for Old West but useable in other settings.

And got the 14 dead buffalo plus 6 'hunted' buffalo and two solo horseback riders hunting the buffalo primed for painting.  The 'dead' are just models removed from their bases.  That means a total of 140 buffalo!

No photos at this time.

A little evidence of progress

 Prepped a couple of units for Mescarilla today:

A 'sombrero' unit from Bluemoon (Old Glory 25s) - from one of the Mexican Wars ranges, forget which.
These are from Peter Pigs' Mexican Revolution range, again in Sombreros.
Here is a side-by-side comparison, Bluemoon on the left, Peter Pig on the right.
And a little better angle to show the distinctive size difference.  Workable in separate units.

Just wanted to show this project is not abandoned, not by any means.
