Ya, I've tried that. One thing I noticed is I seem to end up with a lot of those vertices that are in the exact same spot that need merged together. The ones that appear after an extrude sometimes. In your model in the tutorial you didn't mention merging them, so I assume they weren't there...

Just grasping at straws. That crooked edge problem just gets worse and worse as I add more detail to the model.

I'll try starting it all over and see if it happens again. <shrug> Thanks anyway!
