Paul I like the coffee stirrer idea for lifting the building off the ground I've been using wood that's far more expensive! Idea nicked!
Go ahead, mate.
Cheap and cheerful is always best for this sort of thing.
(I hate to think of how many hundreds/thousands of coffee stirrers I have used in my various builds...

)
Awesome work Mason.
This project is such a beast - what a labor of love.
Cheers, Frank.
It is, although with time running out before BLAM I am starting to think differently.

I'm curious if the barber's a barbarian. 
Far from it, sir.
The Barber thinks of himself as a rather sophisticated chap...

Paul, remind us who's left to be allocated a trade and a premises?
(So I can take a punt on who's going to get cast as the Upsheet Creek barber
)
- ah, how the long summer days fly by, with these tres amusant little guessing games, Mr Darcy... 
Here ya go, sir:
The Upsheet Creek Chamber of Commerce...as it stands now
Starting with the buildings, so far there are the following finished properties
The Hardware Store (Eric the Shed)
The Ladies Outfitters (Malamute)
The Bath House (jimbibbly)
The Physician (Dr De'ath)
The Brewery Warehouse (Thunderchicken)
The Optometrist (Captain Blood)
The Builder's (Matakishi)
The Trapper (Elk101)
The Sheriff

The Bank

The Barber's

To do:
The Saloon

The Railroad Station

So, eleven buildings finished (apart from the signs on the Sheriff's place) with at least three more to go.
I say at least three, as I may be tempted to try and finish more before BLAM, which will fit in the spaces taken by the rock formations.
As you can see there are a couple of buildings that do not have names attached to them, the Bank and the Sheriff's office.
I will allocate them and do all the signs for these at the same time as the Barber's.
(Gutbukkit has also laid claim to the Khazi, although there is some dispute as to whether it should be named after Bugsda....

)
As for character figures, the following have been finished:
Hammers*
Malamute
Dr De'ath
Eric the Shed
Elk 101**
Tom the B*stard
Captain Blood
Hu Rhu**
Dewbakuk**
Overlord**
Matakishi**
Legionnaire Bert**
Ray Earle**
Thunderchicken**
* Not sure if he is actually coming but the figures has already been done anyway.
**These have not been named on the thread as characters yet, but they will be added soon.

I also already have figures of the following characters that need painting:
jimbibbly
AndyM
gamerMac
smokezombie
Damas
Silent Invader
Elysium 64
Doug Em4
Dr the Viking
That leaves the following figures to be sourced:
Andrew May
Grimm
Vikotnik
Nurgle HH
As you can see, I have my work cut out to try and finish all these in time for BLAM, and I may have to concede that they will not all get done.
If that happens then I shall continue to work on them afterwards and post them here when they are done.
Edited as of 16/08/14 as tasks are completed.
