I'm looking for two items that others may find usefull as well. One is a 1940's or 50's style school bus, one with the "nose" on it, very rounded "features", if you would like I could post a photo of what I'm looking for. Second is a 1967 Ford Mustang convertable (top up and down). Hea, it would be greatly appreciated. boni

Sounds like all you need is some weapons and you've got the makings of a nice "Vigilante 8" poster there~ Have you tried the 3DCafe? (br)3DCafe PAN~

that was the first place I looked, you'd think these two items would be common. Actually the car is my roommate's favorite car. And the bus ... well it's a long story ... put shortly, I grew up in an old bus converted into an RV and traveled around the country with my GreatGrandparents in it in the late 50's early 60's. I was making personal images for my "history" art and wanted the images for that. Thanks for the advice. They are a great source. Boni

Whoa...you grew up in a bus? KEWWL! Say did you ever get that feeling you were walking onto the school bus in your underwear? You must have HATED that song.."The wheels on the bus go round and round...round and round..round and ..er you know the rest I'm sure..." Haha...sorry I just had to. Actually that's pretty cool. Sure beats growing up in the mudshack I was in...hmm...perhaps I might create it in bryce and poser so the forum can see....now where would I find an ol' outhouse?... PAN~ (I come in peace)

You're KEWWL Pan~, I can just see making an outhouse in Bryce actually, but I think I did see that somewhere on one of the sites. WARNING: Unrelated side bar on personal history: (We actually used an old pail with a handmade wooden seat. ... our water was from a water barrel and our cook stove was a little electric hot plate like thing. The beds were mats put down on a wooden cupboard that part of a cabinet system that lined the entire bus. Light was a gas lantern. It was north in the summer to Ohio and south to Texas in the winter. Worked out very well. Didn't see snow until I was 6. Haven't liked snow ever since. :) Take care, let me know if anyone knows where to find these things. Boni

I appreciate your post, even though it was way off topic ... but there most be some artistic and creative insperations in there somewhere. My American dream crashed and burned when I was 6 and started school, bummer. We were poor, I was considered "blind", (very near sighted actually, but the law didn't see it that way at the time) and I had to struggle to learn, to grow, to be an artist (legend has it I started drawing feet and dogs at 2 because that's all I could see) and now I'm a software and hardware catagory specialist for Beyond.com when what I want and what I'm working for is to do my art full time, Bryce, Poser, drawing, painting. Check my site ...Amethyst Arts and here is a sample of my work.

The sample wouldn't come through ... let's try again. 
I made it a little smaller, maybe it will take now. Peace Boni
