Give this one a go, feel free to improve, redesign, or copy directly. I’ll post my wireframe in a few days… (don’t want to give away too much too soon…) Hint: I started with a single strip of faces. But there are MANY different ways of getting there. [image]

If I can afford to add: OffsetSubD is a little lacking, what Tsplines (TsTicken) did was more complete, for example, it allowed to make a ticken normal, for vertex normal, very useful. “Insertedge” works, but in soft mode it has a strange behavior, it seems to be inaccurate in the insertion; seems…

A helmet done in less that 5 minutes just to explore some paths on Sub D modelling. Sub D will be (is) to me the best new set of tools in Rhino for many years. It will be a game changer for sure on the way we approach modelling

A few thoughts- yay you for diving in! resist the urge to subdivide so early, keep you model as light as possible for as long as possible.
