My kids absolutely love "diggers" and as a 3D modeler I certainly appreciate them too. All the complex shapes, hard edges, bolts, hydraulics, tire treads, etc. It's a modelers playground and labyrinth rolled into one.
I'm going to start building a digger - a Caterpillar 434E specifically - as accurately and detailed as I can. The name of the game here is organization, perseverance, and efficiency because most of the shapes are not difficult to build. There's just. so. many. of. them. Which gave me an idea...
Why don't we build this thing together? For those interested in following the project, I'm hoping at least a few will participate by modeling certain pieces of the backhoe themselves to be submitted to me for review and incorporation into the final model.

Omar, I almost won a lottery jackpot with all my number showing up on screen. For months, I stuck to same numbers, and it was only one day that I missed going to shop. I failed to buy the ticket and all my numbers came up, but I had no ticket that evening.

Welcome Back Kent
Hey there Kent!
When I was little I remember hearing this Celtic legend about fairies, that they would sometimes invite someone to their home for a night of partying and dancing, and it would only seem like a single night, but when they emerged the next morning they would find out that many years had actually passed; the idea used to scare me.
Yes still here, but setting up stream things
