Thanks, Steve. They had two packs left, and I ordered both, but fifty cents a hog is too costly to fill pens in seven towns. I’m still looking for cheaper hogs in bulk.

20 for $10 unpainted. I bet they are 3-d printed and if you contact the seller can get a bigger break on more.

Try searching HO HOGS in addition to PIGS on sources such as Walthers.com and eBay. 

 

Lifelike sells a pre painted set of six HO hogs. But there are also sets of 10 to 20 pigs/hogs in unpainted resin which are cheaper and should be easy to paint in mass. Also, years ago Airfix (I think) sold sets of unpainted hogs/pigs in a rubbery plastic that might be found. No doubt other offerings can be found with a bit on online searching. Happy hunting.

I resorted to cutting and pasting pictures of animals then putting them together as a scale 40 foot long herd, printing the same in mirror image and mounting these on a piece of transparent plastic down the middle of the car, in HO scale. It looks good. I also unravelled some straw coloured sewing thread and put a few fibrestraped in the door and an odd bit poking through the slats.
