55 megs, Windows media format.
It's unscripted, amateurish and well, my first try at such things, so it's far from perfect
And I realize a Glaswegian accent is probably gonna be rough on some folk's understanding of English

basic tips on using Rhino for modelling based off my experiences with making Spelljammer ships and other things.

Made 1 blooper: when I created the "panels" in the ship's railing, between the supports and the top rail, I actually offset a curve inwards from each of the two initial curves used to build the top rail, and then used Solid ---> Extrude Planar Curve--Straight, to make a slightly narrower version of top rail. Then booleaned that with each of the supports in turn, to slice it into panels (or slabs to be more exact, panels for my Spelljammers are actually part of the railings with thickness, not like a normal sci-fi definition of "panel").

taking a look ill let you know.

Good tips on the windows, the glass modeling, how ever do to the loose cannon feel its quite
hard to follow, but alround a decent vid. and yeah, thats one wierd accent, but heck iam from
holland, dont feel bad for a second :P.

Good luck on any follow ups you make, try to pic a topic and stay on it, like meshing 1 ON 1.

No prob wish they'd make T-Splines built into Rhino for it's next release, as that'd help orgnaic modelling a bit
