In-Depth Information
You can build the lantern shown in Figure 4.71 from a polygon cube by adding sub-
division edges with the Insert Edge Loop tool and extruding or moving faces in and out.
The light itself is a simple cylinder set into this shape.
You can draw the two top boiler caps by drawing a profile curve and then revolving
the boiler caps as you did for the chimney (see Figure 4.72).
The piping and small tanks along the length of the engine boiler are cylinders placed
in position, as shown in Figure 4.73.
