Actually, I rethought this modelled again: I drew the side cross-section, added thickness to that, added vertices to model the ends and then added bevels to the faces. An easy way of adding bevels is to use dynamic extrusion (using the mouse) in one of the plane views. Choose (say) Left view, click on the large poly for that face, choose the Dynamic Extrusion tool and then click inside the poly. Moving the mouse creates a new linked poly that you can size how you want. Pull it out a bit in Director's view to create the bevel you want. This model needs refinement but hopefully it will give you some ideas. Mark
