Thank you all very much for your answers, much appreciated.

@Barry-H - How do you go about creating those 'ribs' so they are absolutely vertical? I tried doing that on my own but they inevitably are at various angles to the vertical.

@ ed (EDDYF) - How do you create that central orange line? I tried that and it came out all wonky.

Gunter - I drew it in side view and made sure the end points touch where the red & blue lines meet. Should work fine if you have Object Snap turned on.

Great, thank you Ed!

Hi Gunter,
If you show the curve points the the start point and next point should be inline and same for end points.
So if you mirror the object the join is tangent.
Hope this helps.

So a minimum of 3 different methods :)

Well ... As long as we are counting Pilou :)

We have the SubD method. But not recommended for this application as the NURBs methods are more precise and easier to edit.

The SubD method is the poetic method! :)

Hey guys been away for a while popped in to see where MoI is at, I see Pilou is still here :)
Sometimes the MoI basics work well and maybe forgotten I'm a bit rusty with MoI so forgive the delays.

The Blend method is the 5 th element! :)

Hi Gunter.

Here's a method.

And then another way to create the pod. Possibly more sidewall control over thickness, etc...

Bravo to BurrMan!

Thinking 2 another ones! :)
