HTH, Olaf.

thank you, I’ll centrainly try it :slight_smile:

On your cylinders, select them and go to the edit buttons windows (F9) and click “Auto Smooth” and “Set Smooth”.

Good luck.

Oh thanks… that’s what I needed. I don’t know all the buttons yet :slight_smile:

It’s all a matter of practice. Good work so far, how long have you been blending?

its my first week… first played with the colors a bit with a cube and a cylinder. this is my first ‘thing’ that represents a real thing

You’re doing awesome for your first week. One of the main mistakes I made when I was new was I’d undertake too large of projects. But I think you’ll be able to finish this tanker no problem. It’s in doing things like this that you learn new skills.

I hope to do so :smiley:

For your first week with blender, that’s great!

update… still have to do the wheels.

how can I un-flatten the frons… how can I make a smooth roof-front connection?

You could subdivide and extrude. Subdivide by press w -> subdivide and extrude by pressing e. I’m a beginner myself, been using blender for about a week also and I want to start something to model just don’t know what:( . Anyone have any ideas. Anyway… good job.

looks good keep it up.

I just wanted to say i get a “404” with all your links.
