Im not going to Panic......help!

Ok this is what ive done.
I have modeled one half of an aircraft fusilage in NURBS, and I have also used the trim tool to cut out the main windows at the front. Looks good ish, but I now need to attach both halfs of the fusilage but I keep getting a worning that Trimmed surfaces cant be attached to each other.?

Cheers for any help!

Yep, trimmed surfaces can't be attached. You'll need to convert to polys or avoid trims with this object.

You can trim the final surface though.

that looks like either imageplanes, or simply nurbs or poly planes with a file texture attached ..
