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!

Oh god, Blanch, do we have a hose connecting our parts?
Carpal tunnel hurts more I'm sure Omar
[Q] I believe right at the junction of the arm and the swing frame there is a total of 8 lines, that pair off to their respective pistons as you go up along the arm.
if it hurts you need to do it more
Just don't punch anyone with your thumbs like that. If you're in a bout, keep the thumbs out!
