After Jaap's wonderful ships, here are some busses. They are a specific Belgian model of the mid- to late 1950s (used well into the 1970s), namely a 'Brossel'. They were in fact build by several subcontractors: the Chassis was by Brossel, the mechanical components by Leyland, and the bodywork by a number of builders. Here's a screenshot of the "Brussels" variant of the busses; these busses also came in red and green, according to where you were and who operated them.  Possibly the most time-consuming, but also the most fun part about building these was researching the adds. For those unfamiliar with them, the products advertised are: - "Kwatta", "Jacques", "Martougin" and "Victoria": Belgian chocolate (of which only "Jacques" is still sold) - "Parein": biscuits - "Campari": alcoholic beverage - "Chat Noir": coffee - "De Beukelaar": Chicory coffee - "Ca-Va-Seul": metal polish - "Persil": laundry detergent - "Devos-Lemmens": mayonaise - "TinTin": Comics weekly, published between 1946 & 1993. |

Rotterdam and the busses look great! What's up with all of these scenery library ships now all of a sudden? Last week I got fed up with the current ship library objects, they were too modern and too ugly for any vintage scenery, so I decided to build my own. The Dole Lines combi passenger/freight liner, an old tub built in 1917 and still sailing into the early 1960's.  I also have have T2 oil tankers, tramp steamers, and small liners as low (900 to 1200) polygon gmax background objects. Mike |

After building those Belgian busses, I felt I had to do the following...  Just completed the last of the four versions - the base-textured examples are GM-built busses (the short TDH-3700 series, the medium TDH-4500 series, and the long TDH-5100 series), while the textured one on the left is the Russian license-built version of the TDH-3700, namely the ZiS-154. Back to my own sceneries now... |

Hi all, Here's a picture of Frank Gonzalez wonderful paint of a Sabena Lockheed L-1049H Super Constellation at Brussels Airport. It was leased from Seaboard & Western Airlines between May en October 1958 to reinforce the Sabena fleet during the universal exposition of Brussels.  Cheers, Harry |

Finally a modern post war freighter. Here we see the very lovely "Gibson Maru" slowly steaming past the Golden Gate bridge into San Francisco with 6,000 tons of wind up tin type toys, cameras, and transistor radios after a long voyage from Yokohama. ;D  This freighter is Nippon Yushin Shipping Lines of Japan. I'll keep building! |
