Modeling an X-Wing in Blender 3D Part 1

It's the first of a two part tutorial on how to model an X-Wing from Star Wars in the program Blender 3D. In order to follow along with the tutorial, the user must have some decent knowledge of the program.

how did you merge the half circle thing to the laser at 2:17, then can you explain what you did at 2:52? if you could just tell me what keys to use that would be awsome! nice vid btw, thanks.

[Yodaman921]

For the first one, I clicked a vertex, then held shift while clicking the vertex I wanted it merged to, then pressed 'w' -> merge (then just choose which one you want it merged to)

For the second, I simply deleted the faces that would be between the wing and cannon and then created new faces between them. That way I wouldn't have extra faces inside the mesh.

how do u set edge loops? or extra vertecies

[Yodaman921]

To do a edge loop, do Ctrl + R, hover over the area you want to do it. They will appear as a purple line, use +/- to add more loops or less, when you get what you want, hit enter or click. Extra verts can be added by selecting an edge or area and going W -> subdivide.
