How to make rounded aircraft fuselage?

surfimp · 25th June 2003, 04:04 PM

I'm pretty new to 3D modelling and very new to AC3D so forgive me my ignorance. I'm trying to recreate the model glider below for use in an R/C soaring simulator.

It seems I should create a cylinder and then modify it, but I'm unclear as to how to add additional vertices. Would I just create a number of cylinders (i.e. like pieces of pipe) size them to fit, and then merge them all? Any help much appreciated!
