Thanks to my kids I've become quite fond of "diggers" over the past couple years. 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.

I don't know how to make them, actually...
Yeah @ritag those are used quite a bit but don't always look like that. Sometimes they just use thin sheet metal under a washer and bend it over one of the flat faces. OR use lockwashers
Why don't you use the red cones thingies?
Hey is it so wrong to take my work seriously? It's an important job we have here!
Lol.
