I guess that is due to the curve directions being incompatible (if that is the correct terminology
)Will I have to start over with this part??
Any ideas.
cheers

I ahve added another curve and tried bi-rail 2, i have tried bi-rail 1 and al other possible ways of getting a surface out of these curves. I must be doing something basic incorrectly but what, I have no idea.
Anybody any ideas?
cheers

Well it's pretty easy. As a nurbs objects just duplicate the whole helmet, project a curve onto it and trim away the bigger part.
Then you should have a perfect surface. You only need to move it a bit forward.
Was this satisfacory??

Split the curve shown in the front view at the very top to create 2 separate, symmetrical curves. Get rid of the vertical centre line in the perspective view.
Now use the Birail 1 tool, using the bottom curve as the profile and the 2 (now) separate curves on each side as the rails.
It worked for me when I was playing around.
