Multi Terrain Loader

I have chosen the CAT Multi Terrain Loader. I like the compact form factor and how relatively sleek it is compared to some other construction machinery. I have worked with card board before, though only for rough mock ups, so it will be interesting to build a complete high quality model out of card board.
I found this cool picture of a full-scale scooter out of cardboard. There's a bunch more here: http://www.techchee.com/2007/12/22/cool-cardboard-art-cardboard-made-gadgets/

Cat Skid Steer Loader...

I chose the cat skid steer loader to mockup with cardboard. Some of the interesting uses of cardboard I have found included inhabitable rooms and structural components. Shigeru Ban constructed a large footbridge across a river which exemplifies the use of cardboard as a stable structure.

CAT Backhoe Loader

I plan on recreating the Backhoe Loader for this project. I was allowed to mess around with one before, and would really enjoy recreating one in model form.

Compact Wheel Loader

I decided to recreate the compact wheel loader. I have driven a vehicle similar to this one before so I thought it would be interesting to make it out of cardboard.  I've tried to use cardboard before and wasn't very successful but hopefully this will be a better experience.  It can be very rigid while flimsy at the same time.

Off Highway Truck

I have choosen to recreate a CAT Off-Highway truck out of cordboard. With the back end lifted up it will make this simple looking machine alot more interesting and complex.

Hydraulic Excavator

I will be recreating a hydraulic excavator out of cardboard. I find the proportions of this machinery interesting and that fact that the machine can dig under itself. Hopefully i can display this fact when i create my model.
