Notes

A gem of a design amongst a superb collection of Jody Long designs.

Everything is well thought out.
The wheels design is especially clever.

I did what Debbie in Minnesota rolfsen did: Fire Truck.
She inserted cut foam inside instead of fiberfill. The resultant shaping really makes it.

Adapted colors and dimensions to resemble fire trucks in the US.
Attached a carry handle at top back of cab.
