Maybe this video can help you

mxabucknell,
Keep in mind that this is just a quick demonstration of a general method. I didn't invest enough time and effort in this to nail the exact shape.

OOPS!
I went on a plugin spree the other day, and I forgot about ffd- I will get it later, when I'm on a computer with Sketchup- I will have a look at that .skp as well.
Thanks a load...

I had a look at your model- very nice claps But, what did you use to go from the wire frame to the fleshed out model. I tried a from contours, but it wasn't wuite the same...
I just pray that you didn't use soap skin bubble, because then I'm really stuffed

A combination of skin.rb and hand-stitching.

for modeling organic freeform shapes get hold of a feature-based NURBS modeler as e.g. ViaCAD Pro f. Win/OSX which does support advanced surface modeling, at least if you wanna export as IGES/STEP/SAT into e.g. CAM systems for production:
SU import avail.

Id have to go with norbert on this, its a lot easier doing stuff like this with NURBS. You can then convert to polys if you need to. MoI is a good place to start for easy NURBS modelling.
