Nice work. I'll bet your dad will really appreciate this figure. The hot end of the rod looks like it is red hot too. Nice choice of colors

Well, strike while the iron is hot. And you did. The whole scene captures the moment.
From the thumbnail, I had no idea of the appearance of the floor!

That is a very good scene. The floor helps make it complete and ties it all together. Like the way the ends are staggered, too.
