I have 211 original zip files for WZ  I'm fairly sure I downloaded everything he submitted but I don't think we are allowed to share, are we?

I've re-calibrated my estimate to somewhere around 180-185, as I was going by Tyberius' estimate. Which means Tyb has the El Dorado WZ collection. Would love to see those hidden treasures.

That car ferry is so wonderfully detailed. Love it.

A modular factory WZ made, along with his electrical sub-station, assorted warehouses, Labor office, and transport company, with some Simmer and SOMY added.

I once had that vintage KFC lot. It was great for the lower-income sections of town.

I hadn't realized those were even WZ's till I saw his name on them in BuildingPlop. I change a lot o the DL names to English or generic brands, to find them faster. But I'm currently going through all my vaults and cutting his work out of the herd, so I can better protect them.

@SIM-ple Jack or anybody

could you share an image about WZ's Wilheim Monument? I found the files, though still everything scrambled, but apparently the sample image what i downloaded from the site didn't survive the HDD crash. I still need to go through approx 2800 files before I can start redownloading and organizing the messed up contents (most of RRetail's and pclark's, Paeng, PEG and a smaller chunk of the SimCity Polska stuffs are totally messed up). 

Thanks in advance for the image.

Thanks for saving me the effort of shooting that set. There's a canal set, by someone else, that's just made for this set. Someday I might do something with it.

Hmm, from reading this to finding and installing it, taking pics, to photoshop and back here- 16 minutes. I could do better!

Wilhelm II Monument (including voiding pigeon) 1x1

I could send you the file, but you'd have to get permission from Mother Superior Cori and the Holy C(ee).

Thanks, as I said I have the files I just needed an image. By the way I thought you had images handy, I didn't know that you had to go in-game, plop it etc...etc...

Anyhow thanks for the pic @SIM-ple Jack!

Sorry, I was under the impression that Tyberius was staff, like site archivist/conservator or something.

I barely have room for all the other stuff that goes with this game(backed up on 2 hard drives to boot) let alone a picture album of all my plug-ins. Not really a big deal, I'm good at multi-tasking.

One of my most used WZ lots.

No worries.  He is staff.

My point was the files can't be posted in a public thread.

I kind of cajoled WZ into releasing this. He got even by putting a $90000 price tag on it.

I hadn't realized we owe WolfZe for bringing us the Kaiser ready for a spot on the Siegesallee.

WolfZe also brought us the heroic Hermannsdenkmal, Hermann's Monument from Detmold in Nordrhein-Westfalen:

 

However, I was really excited by the Hafenamt, the port authority (also called Hafenverwaltung or "port administration" in game):

I do not know if there is a particular building somewhere in Germany upon which this is based, but I recognized it instead as the old, former Jinan Station, built in 1912 in Jinan, Shandong, to serve the old, German-built Tientsin-Pukow railway, which later became the main part of today's line between Beijing and Shanghai.  Too small for modern Jinan, it was controversially denounced as a symbol of oppressive, Western imperialist colonialism and demolished in 1992 when the station was expanded, but many lament that a beautiful historical landmark was sacrificed by ideology for the completely ugly and gormless monstrosity that is today's modern station.  Some Chinese citizens dared to suggest the notion that "beautiful design can only be built by Europeans" as a pointed critique of both China's modern architecture and its policymakers.  The original BAT is a commercial ploppable, but I like it better as a train station.

Never cared for this one, too much. Always reminded me of a hotplate. I usually use Simmer's Barrow Heliport, but I keep this around for filler.

Not really sure what the proper name of this church is. It might go with the prefecture in the second pic because they came out about the same time.

Yepp, he is/was from Hamburg, Germany.

[City_Slider 2,716]

Thats why. Now i need his Adresse, to visit him. I´m at Hamburg 3-4 Times a Year. I´ll figure it out, cant be that hard ;-)

[Ducio 285]

Tell him how much we miss him!  

Also, just want to add, @SIM-ple Jack really loved that Riverboat Steamship gif! You got me haha.
