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!

Man my english is off its game today
Easiest?
I think my parts were the easier
@ritag there is a CAD addon, but no CAT addon
@ritag I was using the Bevel Modifier but then Omar called me out on it. Since then it has only been mirror and subsurf-and-turf
@adrian2301 Yup,
blanchsb has gone to town on those loader arms. Much like you and that engine...
You think you choose an easy part, but then...
I think we need to hold a moment of awe struck admiration for @adrian2301 and his awesome work on the engine.
Anybody try cheating with addons?
That angle bracket issue was a doozy
