Bah! This hasn't been one of my best days. I started modelling the turbines and was pretty happy with the result but my pc locked up and i had tp re-start without saving. Bummer. I've made 2 more attempts after that on the turbs but scratched them both because I wasn't happy with them.
These aren't really updates. Made some adjustments on the model. Coloured some bits in black so its easier to see the detail. Also a wireframe.

dvnobles: Hoses and wires are easy. I made a curve that was in the exact shape i wanted the wire to be. Then using the circle curve I simply extruded it. Easy

Hopefully Ill get someting done now....
