hi,

can anyone please make a tutorial how to make only the spherical cockpit with all of its details.

here is a link of a great model which I found on the net: http://fractalsponge.net/gallery/Starfighters/TIE%20Fighter/index.html ( I know it's an 3dsMAX model)

a tutorial of how to edit a spherical object like a loudspeaker bowl would be cool too.

I struggle with such objects.

cheers and thx

Well, adding surface details on such spherical objects could be accomplished by Fredo6´s Tools On Surface, at least I think so - http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=11212&hilit=surface+tools+fredo
Intersecting that "bowl" with another model could help in further editing.

Why lost time to modelize that?
You can load hundred models in SKP format of this here

Just to add to that - Tools On Surface could help in engraving panel lines - if you don´t want to achieve that by textures, but to extrude such curved surfaces, another Fredo´s plugin could save you a lot of frustration http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=6708&hilit=joint+push+pull
