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!

Hi Rita
Heya Rita!
Yay, I am back. 😀 I am sorry I have come late to classroom. I am in the bold corner now, eating my salad with tea.
[Q] what is "a team"?
how many people, what specialisation distribution... in a few words... curious...
: )
It would also be interesting to know how much time everyone spent, for future reference.
*less
There are engineers for each discipline area. One group for the frame, one group for the engine, one group for the electrical, one group for the hydraulics, etc.... One group for the vibration and damping and structural resonance issues.
Yes
