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.

Next project is a turbine
That would be dope.
Don't call it that Matthew, trust me

I learn a lot but, the entertainment value... man!

This Backhoe needs a turbine.
I have access to all of the turbine prints though haha
I get the feeling shawn will regret telling us that muaha
Yeah no those are CAT Red documents. They don't share those kind of prints unless you work in that department
Thanks, Jake.
