Joe, as a retired firefighter with a love for anything to do with firefighting, that's one hell of a model, very impressive and something you should be very proud of. I'll look forward to seeing this finished, well done.

Stunning work there. I am amazed how you get all the working parts rigged. Looks so real now with your detailing. Looking forward to seeing this role out on video too.
