I'd go with lotsa CSG for the main work - it's powerful stuff! You have the basic shapes that you can use (don't forget you're already given cylinders, cones (what Qoole calls Pyramids) and some rather chunky spheres ;] ) to build up more complex ones - it's just a matter of breaking down the shape you want into its basic components and then doing it with CSG and some vertex/edge/face moves for detail work. (For an idea, look at the house brush which is nothing more than a 5-sided cylinder with the edges moved into the appropriate positions - experiment around some and you'll see.) Careful you don't end up with a whole big mess of brushes though - criminal for speed, I've been told! ;] Carsten
