              Stick to very primitive forms then refine...

              keep refining as you go...

                    Easiest thing to learn is proxy modelling. You're a natural at it too.

                      Thank you for your help. I am really not into proxymodelling... but result is quite well.

                        I think that looks like a fine result, I have problems with proxies too so appreciate how difficult it can be to get your mind around the method.

                          What is the difference between a Proxy and a simple 3D object?
                          State before subdivision ?

                                      πŸ‘ πŸ˜„ ...as expected with you - a great result
                                      Even the seams you've done - are these simple follow-me shapes?

                                        For seams I'm usig the "Pipe along path" plugin

                                          Yes, I've took also pipe along path.

                                          It was a mix between Artisan und SubD. My proxy wasn't able for SubD, but Artisan worked very well

                                          here's a view of my final proxy before subdivision:

                                            btw: Exactly this view will be reality in about two months. I will post a pic, when everything is finished.
