Our 3D backhoe model is taking shape. Progressing past the initial block out stages, we're starting to finalize the hard-surface pieces of the machine. In part 3, I'd like to cover the creation of hydraulic lines and the advanced shrinkwrap technique for cutting construction lines on smooth shapes. Though given that I'm predicting this a month away, these topics are subject to change.
This complex model is a collaborative effort between instructor and Citizen members. The idea is to build this crazy thing together! If you're interested in contributing, please jump over to the Forum Thread to learn more!

Totally agree, they should match in sharpness
@theluthier the reviews are worth gold
I tried rigging those pistons, but parenting messes it up.
hmmm well that didn't work lol
<---- wishes Rita was doing this too!
Comments on the grades are good because it's difficult to get review by a professional That's just how I see it
This is great. That green part was driving me crazy. I think I want to redo that and just add a mod for same thickness.
hi Rita
Hi Karen, Ingar, Silent, Jake, Shawn, Spikey, Greg, Andrian
Yeah, I like seeing everyone else's notes.
