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.

But no one has to know that
I mean it doesn't take off or anything, it's just there
I didn't know you could build a rocket in Minecraft. That's pretty cool.
In Minecraft the first thing I built was a rocket
I love rockets since I was a kid
Will do
and nobody will believe you've built one
Don't forget to render the launch or the rocket will be gone
