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.

Spike, they prefer to play games than toy with cube.
@adrian2301 You sounded like Kent in my mind... freaky.
Start with the default cube, Rita
Hi Adrain
Been *trying.
Hey Adrian
I have been to get my little nephews interested in Blender. I always mention how one can create props for Minecraft.
I give tours to people and tell them, yeah yeah, it's fully functional
Hello everyone. sorry that's Kent line.
