Dutch Busses

nguwland · Post by **nguwland** » 17 Mar 2006 16:16

A interesting site, if you like dutch busses is http://www.openbaarvervoerinboskoop.nl, If you're Dutch, it shows itself, else, in the upper (horizontal) menu choose "Busfoto's". Then a menu shows up with all ducht bus-operators. Choose a operator, and if nessecairy a bus number, and enjoy the pictures.

By the way, Are there any other artists interested in creating a Dutch busses set?

Yes, I meant that you should add many details with shading. If you want, I can make one demo fixing for you, but then yous hould promice, that you willfix your first two models unless I say, that you've fixed all the details

I supposed that you'd fix all the marked places

I've changed the shading, and started about the diagonal view, but I thought that the bus was to wide, so I redused the width by 1 pixel, but now it looks to narrow. So Here you see the two views, the wide and the narrow one. Wich one do you suggest I should continue with?

I suggest to use 6-th pixel as the corner, that looks like 5.5px wide bus. Also, make a light line above. Fix the length. So, summury - improve the wide version

Cool with Den Oudsten buses as an addition to all the rest we have! Especially since I also have driven those! Good buses in fact

Yep, It's a shame Den Oudsten is bankrupt.

They are? I thought they left Europe for the American market a couple of years ago?

A bit OT, I know!

That could be, the dutch division is shut down, unfortunately

dunno about "big lot", but "you're" should be "your" in this case. ( "you're" would mean "you are")

And I'm happy to see someone drawing Dutch bussies

As first I'll finish the Den Oudsten Bus, but if there are any other interested, I had a list in mind for a Dutch busses set. If you would like to draw one of them, please reply. preferred livery is connexxion, but other liveries are welcome as well (please use a real existing livery). And if you want to draw something not on this list, additions are welcome

Den Oudsten Standaard streekbus (also articulated versions)
Den Oudsten B88 (also articulated versions)
Den Oudsten B88 10m version (for the cities of Delft & Gouda)

MAN Lions' city
Man Viabus

Berkhof Ambassador
Berkhof Premier

Mercedes Benz Integro
Mercedes Benz Citaro (also articulated version)
Mercedes Benz O405 (also articulated version)
Mercedes Benz Sprinter (Buurtbus and delivery versions)

Van Hool A300 (old and new look)
Van Hool AG300
Van Hool AGG300

IF you want to draw some of these, but you are having difficulty finding information about them, you can send an e-mail to me.
I'll try to draw as many of these as I can, but help is always welcome.

How about old(er) busses? Kromhout-Verheul, ARM-Pennock, Hainje (for those who live in a big Dutch city: they made 3 generations of 'Standaardbus' for city bus services).

nguwland · Post by **nguwland** » 21 Mar 2006 19:03

Older busses are welcome of course. Perhaps something like the T-ford could be nice to, as well as taxi's.

Well, I am just 18 years old, so i never have seen those things in action, but have read enough about them, It would be nice to have a Dutch bus coverage from 1900-2050 (and beyond). From T-Fort up to 250 km/h+ superbus

Here are all eight views of the beautiful (in Real Life then, and in my opinion) Den Oudsten B90 Intercity bus.

Of course comments are welcome.
And George, Thanx a lot for your help.

Very nice, but I'd suggest working on it. The main problems now, which have to bу fixed first are:
1) diagonal view FROM player is 1px narrower, than the view TO player
2) the colours in horisantal and vertical views are not balanced to colours in diagonal views
3) there are no shadows. The colours on sides of the / and \ vies are the same. The should be 1 or 2 tones different.
