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.....yeah that was me. I tried doing a lot of alternate youtube searches because I was getting obsessed with my loader arm issue.
aartifact,
blanchsb has been slogging it on those loader arms for weeks.
Blanche I saw a vid awhile ago that had a backhoe climbing out of a deep hole. it was so facinating how the driver manipulated the arms to lift the whole thing out of the hole and set it on the side.
I agree
spikeyxxx. When you go to some no name backhoe you get less than exceptional quality.
That video of the tractors fighting remind me of back to the future 3 for some reason
