Hi people,
I started this with the intention of doing a little animation of a fire 
engine dealing with a house fire. This was to be for number one grandson.
Decided he may not appreciate houses on fire (he's only two).
Also need to learn more about fire and water.
So have delayed project for a couple of years.

Here's the engine anyway.  Only POV used. Can open all the doors, raise 
hoist etc.
It's not meant to be precise only for fun.
		.. Bob

Very nice indeed and well-built too. The firemen can be animated too I 
guess. Inverse kinematics?

Obviously for Welsh fires ;-)

You might be wrong on the Welsh fire bit.
I reckon it for English fires in Wales.

Come home to a real fire. Buy a holiday home in Wales. :-P

It is perfect for children. Well done.
I think that you have the right level of detail.
Instead of them attending a fire. You could have them rescuing a cat on 
the roof.

Nice one. The feegle approves.

<nitpicking> If it's welsh, shouldn't it have the word 'Tân' on the front?

Depends if it is the part of Wales that has the accent or the language. ;-)

Getting a bit carried away with flights of fancy here.
When I was much younger. My father, a fireman, took me to see Wallace a 
dog that had been adopted by his fire station last century.

I did a quick Poser scene.

It must be a huge breed. But a noble dog, rescueing cats ;-)

Best regards,
Michael

Thanks to this, dogs are rising in my esteem again.

The dog of my neighbours is a sorry creature but he has only one friend: 
a cat. They are inseparable.

Hi people,
I would just like to say thanks for all the comments.
I think I will be going for the 'cat rescue' idea and take up Stephen's 
offer of a Poser cat.

As for all that Welsh business. No.
The emblems for fire services are not too exciting so I thought -
fire = dragon. Welsh dragon is smart but red on red is not so good - 
hence white dragon. Red to start fire and white to extinguish.


The speed I work at makes it likely to be a while before project is done.
		... cheers  Bob

A good decision in my view. ;-)

I sent you a sample of a sitting cat to play with.
