The De Lancy Development Corporation brings you...

 ... exciting new business premises ripe for those with the proper entrepreneurial bent*.  Or in other words I added some more buildings to De Lancy.  

Trump's Office before pressing out.

The Liquor Store (under construction). Poker in the rear anyone?

First up is the Land Office where land grants under the Homestead Act are registered.  This also doubles up as a Post Office.  I have seen period photos from Colorado with this arrangement so I stole it!  Now we have a target for attempts to destroy evidence of land grants or outgoing information and a location mail coaches will visit.

The Land Office - it still needs a little tidying up 

Second is a building under construction.  It serves no particular purpose in creating scenarios other than to be a location and some additional scenery.  I’m in the process of adding extra clutter to the basic building in the form of some stacks of building materials such as planks for cladding the frame.

WIP photo.  You can see why a bit of further set dressing is needed

Both buildings are from the Cactus Creek range from Warbases.  I quite like the price but they are a tad on the small size.  I’d really like the buildings to be deeper in comparison to their frontage to match the historical buildings found on the sandborn insurance maps from the period.  Still I’m not going to make a major issue of it as I’m sure some original buildings varied in size.  I will just fill up the building lot’s footprint with other clutter.

* If you don't have a proper entrepreneurial bent fear not; the De Lancy Development Corporation is to build a state of the art medical facility for the county in the near future.  We will soon have that improper bent straightened right out.  With a range of cushioned rubber mallets for all your anaesthetic needs, we are sure most patients will survive treatment.

    1. Slowly and steadily JBM. I have set myself a spending limit each month which is being split between the 2mm ACW project, Western shoot outs and general stuff like terrain. So every couple of months a bit more gets done.
