Thanks,
If/when I do another one of these. I will probably model one first and then go back and do another one for the video. You can notice, several times where I kinda fumble around trying to decide how i will handle the next procedure. I was just making it up as I went along.
I'll bet I could model an other balloon in about 5 min now, so i learned a lot myself. oh and I did find that tool window under preferences..."display command viewer" so thats something else I learned!
