Re: Pumper Rescue
Wow! That's some amazing detail. But let's talk about that 28 days off - nice. That'll give you time to build some things. Then again, I've never met a firefighter who didn't have another job.

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
Wow, that looks great! It doesn't look like you need any help with it (and you are going for a 2554) but Ertl makes a 1/50 scale 2954d which is pretty detailed.
