Skinning problem - combining curves for fairly complex surface with openings?

Michael,

thanks for the comments! Just as usual, old habits never die (easy) So I started wayyy to complicated by modeling like I usually do.

And yes, almost there, but then time ran out :cry Ah well, maybe I´ll revisit it and finish it one day.

What kind of really bugged me was that I could not figure out how to weld the various surfaces at the edges, leading to a bad polygon flow and of course an open mesh on export. Any tips on how to do that properly?

Thanks,
Michael
