Hello Michael,

FYI, I think I'm in your backyard. I just arrived in Redmond. Anyway on to filleting...

I'm always posting these when I'm 3/4 asleep so I may not be completely coherent.

The first image here shows how I need to fillet the top of the back of the body. I think I may change to squaring off the top and fillet edge by edge. Since the fillet engine can't change radii I was thinking of using a sweep or loft to do the areas that transition from 7/16" to 1/8".



The bulging comment was referring to the circled section. This used to be flush before I cut, filleted and glued back together. Now it looks like the main piece grew.



Good night.

Jeff

Yes, you'd need to do something along those lines to build a surface for that part.

Hmmm, yeah it looks like something was a little misaligned there, making that little shelf area.

It's hard to tell exactly what went wrong just looking at the final result here - if you possibly have some of the previous stages of the model that had the pieces you were cutting and gluing together, that would be where to look to see if some piece was not quite exactly aligned with some other piece being cut, making a little shelf like that.

It is possible to do some low level repair on things to fix problems like this, there is a tutorial on that kind of object repair techniques available here:
