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.

I'm catching up on tutorials and opening Blender at long last
Good day/morning/evening CG artists!
I didn't think about the virus making it possible for more people to watch these live..makes sense.
Not all countries are doing that
Where do you live Adrian?
How cool is this, hanging out with the hoe's. I'm normally still at work at this time and only get to see the re-runs. 12 weeks full pay 👍
