I'm having a problem with the Extrude Face on the wing. Can't see what I'm doing wrong user added image

The resulting Extrude isn't a solid wing:

Look like you have extra faces.. restart the win then go polygons> tool options> keep faces together...

That should fix the problem...

Thanks Kevin,

Good to see someone has faith in me user added image

I'm on the third video and I've just joined the wing. I'm not sure if I've done the right thing or not, but I incorporated the wing profile which the tutorial doesn't. I'm not sure what impact this will have further down user added image

Cheers

I do it the following way:

On the screen where you have the problem:
1. Hold Alt and press PrintScreen on KB (Alt PrintScreen only captures the active window)
2. Open Photoshop and Select New and then Paste
3. Save for Web

Then attach the image to your next post
