All three people who follow this blog will recall that I have been building up a town for pulp games for several years. \u00a0A year or so ago I went on a spending spree on Ebay to get a bunch of Plasticville buildings. \u00a0There are only two or three remaining that I want but don’t have. \u00a0Usually I get my daughter to paint terrain for me, but in this case, I wanted to do these two buildings myself.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The first was a gas station. \u00a0I didn’t realize it, but Plasticville made two different gas stations. \u00a0The first one I found I painted in green as a Sinclair gas station, complete with a green dinosaur out front. \u00a0This one I painted as a Mobile gas station. \u00a0Why? \u00a0I always liked the red pegasus logo. \u00a0You can’t see the sign in this picture, but you can see the red and white motif.<\/p>\n

The second was the Plasticville pharmacy and hardware. \u00a0As a rule, I have been replacing the “Plasticville” words on the signs with “Granville” or a made-up name of the store. \u00a0In this case, you can see that the combined hardware in pharmacy is Graziano’s. \u00a0As the real town of Granville is full of folks with Italian heritage, most of the stores have Italian names. \u00a0Note that in the case of both the gas station and the hardware, I was lucky enough to find ones with the original paper inserts for the windows.<\/p>\n
