Ok guys,

I made the barrel as per ctbram's tutorial, couldnt sleep so did some more. I cleared the pentagons and snapped vertices together, merged etc on the nose blister. I also started the cockpit using a lot of what I learnt yesterday from ctbram. I also smoothed the model and realised that I hadnt used edge loops to constrain areas!! again learnt from ctbram and his barrel tutorial. I dont know how to post multiple pics as the site gives the option but it didnt work last time so 1 by 1.

A big thanks to ctbram and his guidance!!!! and Dave for his input as well. Thanks a million guys.

P.S I think my missus might divorce me now?? Maya is a rival, bahahahaha
