Collab 2020: Modeling Heavy Equipment (Backhoe)

It’s a side view; it can dig between the stabilizers I guess…

Referring to spikeyxxx’s finding that all 4 wheels have equal size, I’ve updated my model:

When I see one of this on the streets I kinda want to drive it now and maybe own one… hoes will be forever special to me now.

Page 14 and 15 looks like the nutrition facts on the side of a cereal box. Maybe these things are edible.

@theluthier block out for the wheel arches was done in minutes, I got a bit carried away and added more detail.

[Ingmar Franz]

I’ve finally blocked out the axles, too. It’s still one single object, so that the different parts have to be separated as objects and named accordingly later. I have blocked out the front axle according to the back axle visible on one of the images of Kent’s reference sheet and then mirrored it, but the front axle is simpler and seems to be thinner. This has to be fixed. The blocking was done just by eyeballing. The hub of the wheel served as the only orientation for the diameter of the axle.

@shanr sure you can choose a different part. Just add a comment under the new part you want.

[Kent Trammell]

You can do either way. Regardless I will simply copy and paste everyone’s part into my master scene.

Nice work @spikeyxxx! Treads are super long but the modifier structure is 💯

[Kent Trammell]

@doulos4iesou You provided your link on the Google Sheet perfectly well 👍

[Kent Trammell]

Excellent investigatory work, Spikey!

[Kent Trammell]

Yes you can!  Sorry for the delayed response. 

[Kent Trammell]

We’re going to be honorary experts on the 434E by the time we finish the model.

[Kent Trammell]

This made me laugh 😆

[Kent Trammell]

I’m so excited about the level of detail I’m seeing here! Everyone’s work is solid and inspiring. I can’t wait for the part 2 stream next week.
