Hi Michael,

Thanks again for the in-depth explanations. It shows that I still have a way to go in terms of changing my mindset - which is fine as I'm not especially fond of the old one ;-)

More seriously, the bit about the "flat" snap is really interesting. I did try to use Planar in my numerous attempts but was stomped by the lack of alignment. This is really useful!

I am also starting to understand that I need to work more with large pieces at first and almost sculpt them down through Boolean operations as opposed to focusing too much on the detail first and trying to assemble things later.

It's quite late but I will continue work on this model tomorrow.

Cheers

Phil
