I love the chair. -

I love the chair.Thanks! I've been keeping this alive on the CAD forum, but I'm happier to share it here
Here's my final work for today... I need to let my laptop cool off for the day running constant rendering and such...I have to round off the windshield to let it "flow" better around the face and sides of the cab better and I'm debating whether or not to tidy up the seating...
I'm going to be at the firehouse tonight, so I'll try to use my photographic memory to remember how we have the interiors of the apparatus.
-
another note to self, I have to increase the door jamb size from 1/16" to something more noticeable.
-
okay, so I figured I had 30mins to kill and my work has been caught up for the day... here is the final shot for today... i swear
I increased the jamb sizes, hopefully this will be noticeable.
-
alright, enough for today, my laptop is HOT!

Alright, so normally during the weekends I rarely have time to model anything, but this weekend I managed to take a few minutes today to model the rear of the engine...
I'm not 100% satisfied but it's a good shell to work from:
I have to take in a few areas (recess them) to make the controls for the pumps and what have you, but other than that I'm going to spend some time detailing the compartments and such.
-
this is addictive:
-
nice modeling CADken, but i think that the wheel needs more geometry, you can see the edges that form the curved surface
-
here are the compartments covered up with the roll up doors, from both sides...
and with that, good night.
-
just an update:

Here's a neighboring townships' engine:

You're model is really looking good. As an ex-firefighter I've really enjoyed following it's creation. Keep up the incredible work!
