Default Re: Modeling wingtips

It's one I bought from a guy at the targetware boards.

It's a pretty good tutorial, just not grasping this part. What he does is basically polygon the top of the wing tip shape, make a copy and drag it down. Then sets up the vertices's to match the shape of the front. After that, he deletes the surfaces, and manually draws the wing tip from vertice to vertice. I don't get how he was able to do that using only front and top references. The side reference doesn't help with getting the back of the wing shape.

I could extrude the rest of the wing out, to the tip, but I won't get the rounded off tip. It would just be flat edge on the side.
