I have looked through part-8 and found a Ctrl-L instead of the Ctrl-S that should have been there. Its corrected in the Web and .pdf version now. The problem with writing this sort of thing, is its aimed at such a limited audience (though a large international community) that its almost impossible to get anybody to proof read it before its made public. My personal friends and family don't share the same passion for 3D as I do. The first proof read is by the people using it, so if you spot anything else like this let me know, either: by the Blender Artist Forum link http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?t=96553 or via the contact link at the bottom of my web site www.rab3d.com Thanks Rob Thanks for spotting that one Bob.

So far I've built the bearing (but somehow have 41000+ vertices instead of 26000). Now onto the low-polygon stuff. There were a few points in the tutorial where the bold commands are incorrect (and one place where a command is missing). Initially I wanted to send eratta, pointing out where the tutorial doesn't flow quite exactly as expected. But then I stopped. Everything is correct in the initial explanation. If you are paying attention, you should be able to see where things have gone wrong (and in the instances where the bold keystrokes are wrong, look back to the beginning and type the correct keystrokes). For the most part, everything is very well explained and very thorough. Kudos for an outstanding tutorial. Bob This is by far the best modeling tutorial I've seen.

A very generous gift to the Blender community! It simultaneously reveals that such precision modeling is a bit of work, and that Blender is fully equipped to handle it! Many thanks to Mr. Burke for this fine pub! Most excellent! A very generous gift to the Blender community!
