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.

Omar, I'm shocked...I've literally fallen asleep editing my videos HA
I hope I don't need Undo for my murderous actions of stealing brains. Perhaps the most humane way is cloning brains and memories. I wonder how.
You have a way of explaining things that gets you hooked up
Every since I saw the first contributions I became anxious to continue! Very exciting imo
Congrats on that
Kent, did you know that almost every tutorial makes me sleepy except yours
Glad we're here for this stream though; the last week has taken forever while I've been waiting for it
Ha, don't I know it
Life needs an undo too
It is already faster
