Thanks, Kixum. I found and grabbed them all. I find that the best way to learn a program is to
follow a few tutorial projects to their conclusion, and then go to it. I've never used a spline
modeler before, though tS did have one. Your lightsaber tut looks like a good one for my first
crack at splines. :)

nomuse, heh, I still have that book too, as well as the diving seacopter and jetmarine books.
They were fun stories, despite the unlikely invention designs. :) Remember the heliplane?
Rather impractical, but the modern real life jetcopter is a lot like it.  Hey! I know a good ship
to do! Remember the Challenger, Tom's repelatron powered starship? Now there would be
a fun model to do. Heh.
