Requesting help skewing a 3D object

Haha, I was typing like crazy then Submit to just find out two other almost exact answers have been submitted. At least I am glad it was the right answer !
Natives really type fast,though!!
Edited Duh moment for me, " Paste in place " - never used it ! I was just thinking, what is Jeff doing by deleting those !!
-
Fantastic - all my questions answered (well, until I encounter the next problem). Once again, and with feeling, thank you so much to all of you for taking a lot of time and effort to help me out (and apologies to Pilou and others for not uploading the v6 version of the model earlier).

I only type with two fingers. Maybe I'll have to start typing with one eye tied behind my back.

Mostly because I was curious about the steps in the process I outlined, I made a video of it. I did it at almost the speed I'd work if I was doing it for myself and didn't need to say anything. I could have shortened it up. I think my computer was a bit overloaded when I recorded it because the first right to left selection didn't work correctly.
Although I use Edit>Paste in place a lot--so much so I have a keyboard shortcut for it--I'd never thought to use it in a case like this. I can see some good uses for it, though.

Another classic

The only thing I know in French would be Oui, Crepe Suzette and mon dieu!

Thx for the V6: that must be a reflex, a sort of esperento of file export between versions!

I will exam the videos tomorrow

@Dave : that will be funny to know where you found only these 3 words!

That can be a good resume of the Universe!

nice dave

pretty much anything which can show someone to avoid trying to manually delete a hundred or so edges with the eraser tool is the 'right' method
[EDIT]
good one pilou. i used to use that plugin (inverse selection) a lot... until v8 and the Solid Tools. (which is how i'd normally do this) -
Ok! Very cool videos Jeff and Dave!

But sorry for this time in this particular case...
I believe that I am more speedy and more simple!
You right I use plugin but just one and indispensable in the Toolbox!

The genious Inverse Selection by TIG! By Right Click
Only curvated face is duplicated not the volume!

Edit : I verify this morning because that was just theoric this night!

One of the curvated face must be "inverse white / blue" and the 2 curvated faces must be "Intersect with the model" ! And of course Rectangle Selection must be left to right!

Don't forget that in the past I have made "speedy challenge" Sketchup / Moi3D
"without plugin"
(of course I have losted at each time because Moi is unbeatable!
It's maybe for that I use now plugins!
:If you are interested : Moi 22 seconds by PaQ!
SU 40 seconds and playing as Horowitz!
