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.

sshanr I will be reviewing your wheel today during the stream 👌
The only image I have of Nepal is when I played Uncharted 2
Yeah The Big W had technical issues, Koalas moved to Chicago
Live-stream will Starts at 11:45 pm here in Nepal
How about my wheel @theluthier
sshanr OH I heard that he had to end his stream early for technical issues. I'm not 100% sure what went wrong but I know he wasn't using ethernet for internet...wifi is risky for consistent connection 😖
I was just about to start sending my portfolio and demo to every single studio on Canada when the virus happened
Omar, I forgot you are in some warm country. Perhaps, you don't get winter or autumn there.
Oh - unfortunately I missed Wes's live stream.
