          Thanks tuna!

          LOL, yeah I had the same problem when I started watching the show. πŸ˜†

          More engine pod updates.

            Correctly positioned the engine pods. Made basic pod struts as component, then used strut for equal placement.

              Geometry clean up to make the surface flat for the side pod thing to come.

                    Rear engine pod rough-in (block out) almost done.

                    Note the other geometry changes again on pods.

                      Rear engine side pods created. Pure fiddly work here. Had to create the faces line by line. I stared with the inner face on the engine pod itself and worked my way out. After many false starts. πŸ˜†

                      Then made into component and copied, then flipped for the other side.

                      Again, note the very slight geometry changes on the rest of the pod.

                              Rear engine pods block-out completed. Also testing smoothing using Erase+ctrl on lines. Did not change geometry at this stage.

                              Not committed to this smoothing just yet. Just testing. It might be good for some places where Curviloft might not be needed.

                              Man did I have to fiddle with those rear hook things. Total different shape than the front ones.

                                  ...but your children may be grown by the time I finish this one. πŸ˜†

                                  I was doing some other preliminary smoothing tests and, man, have I got trouble. Curviloft worked great on the nose of the front nacelles, but another section toward the rear of the front nacelles are going to require complete rebuilds.

                                  No problem though. I'm really learning new things on this one. πŸ‘ It's also the cleanest complex build I've done to date. Minimal stray line to hunt down and erase, that sort of thing.

                                    Damn. I am really excited about this model. I want to keep working on it non-stop.

                                    Nope. Got to call it a night. 😎

                                        I do indeed have an external backup store on my desk. I also used Google Drive.

                                          HA! Did I get lucky!

                                          So a combination of Curviloft for some areas and Erase+ctrl for larger flat areas seems to do the trick. I rebuilt the problem sections far faster than I anticipated. Far faster and they look soooo much better!

                                          Thanks to the changes I was able to make the large black holes on the lower section flat and make a clean Push/Pull indent as well. Also able to straighten out a lot of other areas that were kind of jagged. OK, they were very jagged.

                                          Well huh. I'm already halfway through clean up far faster than I would have thought!

                                            Partially complete detailing rear engine pods. I'm happy with them so I started detailing but will stop here for now and move on to the next sections.

                                            Mostly just blocks with some very basic angle shaping and some Joint Push/Pull to help with the weird angles. So MANY weird angles on this thing.

                                            Then Tools on Surface for some of the other blocks.

                                            Also widened the rear center thingies and change the geometry just a tiny bit to better match my references.
