New Add-ons

Quick update: I just added the new buildings to the add-ons, so you can purchase the Abilene Addition for $245 (less discount than the pledge level, but still below retail), or you can purchase individual buildings at full retail (Livery, Boarding House, etc.).
Still 2 Judge's Levels left, so if you want a custom sculpted figure, the hours are ticking away . . .
Keep up the good work. Only 52 hours to go!
Adios,

I woke up this morning to the welcome news that our $31,000 goal was reached, and Magnus and his mighty ox have been unlocked!
With just under 60 hours left, we have time for a few more surprises!
Here's the next stretch goal: Wild Bill Hickok mounted. This set includes horse and rider.
A matching dismounted Wild Bill is available currently as figure GBF-15. He isn't in any of the faction packs, however I've included him in the "orphans" add-on bundle, which contains other figures that are not in factions currently.
This campaign has consistently outperformed my expectations. I'm grateful for everyone's support and suggestions, and together we'll go roaring over the finish line Wednesday evening!
Adios,
Forrest

The Black Deck is unlocked!
No telling where this might end up; tomorrow we will hit the 48-hour mark, and this is apparently a "witching hour" for kickstarters where things go bonkers. I will be spending the day preparing something for the final stretch. As for the next leg of our journey, we'll be working toward:
If you want to watch a master paint one of our figures, here is the full 2-hour video from last night's Facebook Live session by James Wappel. We made a 54mm version of the Kansas City Sal which he painted live. Something like 2000 people checked it out, with a good 20-30 people watching at any one time. Fascinating to watch.
Thank you everyone!
Adios,

What do the final days have in store?
What's after the Black Deck you might ask?
Sleep tight. We'll see what rides into town tomorrow...

Wow.
When I posted the Mat stretch goal, I wasn't sure we'd get there--I thought, "this is a pie in the sky goal; it would be nice, but I can't expect too much." I'm glad to report that I was wrong! Thanks to all of you for making this a reality. I'm proud to be able to announce that all backers at the Deputy Level and above will be receiving (drum roll, please):
Ta da!
And it's only a short distance from here to the next stretch:
And I can busy myself placing orders with my artists and suppliers now that this has moved from the realm of dream to reality.
Many, many thanks, and steady yourself in the saddle--this bronco is going to be bucking his way across the finish line in 5 days!
Adios,
Forrest
