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!

Good here too
stream is good here
Stream good here
I have a lot of symmetry stuff on the loader arms as well. Left side and right side don't match for the finer details.
stream is hanging
I did have it and removed it because it wasn't on the other image
Germans don't like symmetry
[Q] I believe those may be different fenders Kent
that right there was driving me nuts as I couldn't see the mesh properly.
