This is the thread for my progress on the Backhoe Collaboration.

Ask me questions, give suggestions and post some images that may help my progress.

Thanks

Progress so far for the Fenders:

Few fixes need to be done:

Booleans need to be fixed, shrink wrap needs work around the fuel filler cap and the bolts need more shape.

and for the Stabilizer/Chassis:

Only fix here was to bevel the edges as they are to sharp.

So thought I would spend some time bevelling some edges on the Chassis.

Thought I would try adjusting the Bevel Modifier first, few tweaks later, hey presto. Offset to 0.004, uncheck Clamp Overlap, Segments to 3, and Profile to 1. Limit Method unchanged from Angle at 50d. Now got that reflection on the edges.

Have a thought about the Boolean. They don’t work to well with the Solidify Mod. Only needed for the bolt holes, so I might lose the Solidify Mod on that part and model a solid part and add the holes. We’ll see what happens.

Not too shabby Adrian. Perhaps a good thing to recommend is: compare bevels on similar assembly parts to see how close your chassis is to other things. But it looks pretty darn good to me!

Thanks @blanchsb , good tip to compare, might add a before and after to see the difference’s as well.

Decided to loose the boolean for the bolt holes and model them.

What do you think Before or After:

Cool Adrian! Is that a rectangular cut-out? I think it looks nice but perhaps making a little more of a circular shape where you can see would be better?

There is definitely good clearance for a socket to go on that bolt though. Very believable.

Your right I think it needs to be more rounded, especially in the bottom under the bolt.

What do you think of the Bolt, Rounded or Hexagonal ??

When I zoom in on an Image its very pixelated and hard to see.

My issues seem so trivial compared to yours @blanchsb .
