Hey guys...currently I'm modelling a DC-15 (long) and i was wondering how to model these two things:

the shoulder stabilizer
and
the little thing you can see right here in the middle of the highest part

ref[shoulder]:
ref[little detail thing]:


tried to model it out using a cube but that didn't work out (shoulder thing)
and for the detail thing i tried to use a cylinder and then to bend it but that lead to strange results :/

help pls

welll, just use the basictools and you will be able to make anything, ther is no explanation for doing a particular thing everythng can be done in many ways...
i allways start with cubes for everything not too spehrish/cylinderish, giv it the correct shape (lowpoly) and then add more and more polys with the duplicatepoly or add edge/split edge tools
do you have xfire or icq btw?

for the detailthingie you could use the extrude along curve tool

ah right the extrude along curve tool! thx!

/added you in icq

The stock can be made quickly and easily by lofting curves.

Lofting curves??? excuse my noobish question but, what are they ???
