Our 3D backhoe model is progressing quickly toward the final product. Progressing past the initial block out stages, we're starting to finalize the hard-surface pieces of the machine. In part 4, I'd like to cover the creation of hydraulic lines (like I said I would last time), answer any questionable modeling situations like in part 3, and / or simply model in real time for an hour or two. However 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. If you're interested in the project please jump over to the Forum Thread to learn more!

I see it Omar lol
[Q] My OCD tells my there is a circle floating in the sky
Those angle fittings seem to turn inwards x-wise, as well
[Q] that new spin feature is awesome
[Q] I would use the spin tool and lower the steps to probably one for a sharper corner
[Q] Maybe Shear?
@ritag that sounds heavenly
Gleb and Ady made a video with exactly this topic, using the Bisect on the mirror modifier
I have resisted eating dessert, while watching video. I am saving it for last few minutes before the end of video. Rhubarb crumble. Yoghurt layered over rhubarb. Crunchy biscuity crumbs on top.
