Today marks the 27th
anniversary of this website.
To mark the occasion, I decided to experiment with Google Gemini with a view to creating an appropriate image, and here are a couple that I am fairly pleased with. The first is based on a photograph of a model with a few additional touches whilst the second is a fairly simple modification to my OMB logo My special thanks to Joe of Jotus.com for designing the above image.
I
remain extremely grateful to everyone who has
contributed
over the past 27 years and thank you all for your continued support.
And here is my very
first Hong Kong model bus
In addition to the above AI images, a few others were also 'created' and I have added these to a new page in the XTRA section of the site - just follow this link. 5th
