My God! That looks almost just like Max!
Hmm... I actually forget now. Clicked, flipped, had a few drinks (it's Friday night here and it's been a heckuva week).
Hehehe
I'm just glad that you got it figured out.
Yeah, Bridging is good, too. You can even add twists, squeeze it in the middle, etc.
Every now and then, I take a primitive, convert it to an editable poly, and then just start 'doodling'. Grab a face, extrude, select 2 faces, bridge, hinge from edge, etc.
I think it's a good exercise.
