Hi Lara,
I'm not that skilled either.
We learn step by step.
Trying to help you out learned some new things too.
I see that Pilou basicly told you what you didn't understand.
So far I learned that there is always more than one way to get a certain result.
Flow isn't realy necessary as I also used scale aray , as Pilou suggested.
As for a base shape, look at the last example that Pilou posted.
It's one "base" or "Basic" shape that has been copied several times.
So you don't have to model all of them sepperatly.
When you go to the copy tool you have several choices.
One is to copy on a line.
So what you should do is model just one of those sections until you have a shape that you like.
Then copy it and use scale aray.
(Note that you have to put a single point at the center of the base shape you make.
You need this for the scale aray function.
You can use the command " bounding box center " to do this
If you want a nice smooth curvy surface as a end result.
You could select all the edges that you copied on the spiral and do a loft.
But it will be important to select the edges in the correct order to give you a nice result.
Hope it helps.
Otherwise, the experts such as Pilou can probably help you better than me!
