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!

I wish I could share more stuff being an employee but copyrights are plastered all over. I did look into it though then hit the legal wall disclaimer haha.
looks good
the bit with the holes is a counter balance
lol
Well that took a wrong turn quickly
yeah and the next part
Yeah.....no they just took away our raises thanks to Corona, then turned around and paid shareholders lol
Maybe you'll get promoted
[Q] that lower part at the front is actually part of the chassis
just my direct coworkers know. We are in the business of industrial turbines though. They thought it looks pretty cool so far. I want to show off pfbourassa's demo reel now though
