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.

No do overs in surgery lol
You'd be surprised how much Dr's do this too.......
Mathematics is fine, I would be worried if Kent was a doctor
[Q] is there a way to adjust the knife's snapping distance for the vertex snapping at the start or middle of a cut?
I helpful to see how you actually solve blueprint matching issues
@theluthier we would be worried if you was a teacher of mathematics and figuring it out as you go!!
🏅🏅🏅 for the whole crowd!
The figuring out is where I learn a lot from Kent
But much more fun when the audience is full of Peanuts
Modeling is much more difficult with an audience
