Nah It’s alright. You can bug me anyday :thumb:.

If you look real close - all those objects are in circular form. I created a whole bunch of objects using the lathe editor and it’s curves.

Then I aligned them together (which was the hardest hehe). That’s it. Notice the top antenna is just a tall cylinder. The reeses pieces cup piece was the lathe editor. As well as those 2 cyclinders and circles.

It’s real easy, just gotta figure out a concept and then the rest is up to you ;).

I think it’s better if you find out for yourself.

To make the shape look like that, you can use photoshop to make it the dark glow kind of look :). Lots of tweaking of materials too ;).

BTW - My username is The Reefster now :P.
