Hi Pilou,

> It was the "the excess part" that I missed !

That's one of the strengths of NURBS modeling - anytime that you have the overall shape that you want but it is too large, you are then actually very close to being finished - you just cut the extra part off.

But the other steps I showed above more directly use a drawn curve to control the shape.

Note that just 4 curves are drawn to make that entire model!

You can make many variations by adjusting the shape of those 4 curves, and by adjusting the radius of the fillet that does the final smoothing.
