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.

@Karen: You should continue working on the backhoe. It's learning by doing.
You're Karen as well
I'm willing
Omar is correct winning or losing
do your best
Thanks!
Some pieces are quite cool, now I see mine are very boring
We want to see a piece next stream Karen, even if it's not as good as you would want, that's how we learn
