Looks good Steve!

Late last night I was thinking that you could use array curve to get pieces like that but I was thinking of then booleaning things together - your method of using Loft to build a surface from all the pieces looks great since it is all nice and smooth.

So Tim, because MoI does not have a bend or deform type tool yet instead of trying to draw something like this as a complete straight shape and then bend it, you instead can actually construct it more "in place" as an already bent shape.

Hi Michael,

It did turn out OK.

I would be dubious of creating that shape as straight and then using a bend deformer on it, as the rads on the pipe would tend to get flattened and probably get overlapping/self intersecting surfaces.
