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!

This looks like so much fun actually. I am glad he is covering this.
Nah don't spend too much time on it right now, Kent
Those hoses look cumbersome and labour-consuming. All the screwing and tightening bolts. If I could steal Mr Dyson's brains, I would do away with those damned hoses and invent something to replace hoses.
