Basically im trying to model the tail of the skateboard right now. Right at the end of the tail it basically dips down a bit and levels out. Sorry about not being clear =|

look up some stuff on snaps for adding the verticies then use soft selection to align them in the "dip"

Ok i got the outline finished and whatnot but i have run in to a problem, when i try to extrude the plane's face it dosen't cap the end and the normal extrude modifier is not listed in the modifier list. Is there any way to get around this or am i going to have to copy the edge, rotate, and weld each vertex?

Hm =/ idk why i can't make a simple skateboard deck. Could someone make a simple tutorial or just make it for me? I'm trying to make a skateboard mod for hl2 and i'm a coder who lacks artistic ability haha

lol mate=)) Try the tutorials in max about shapes and geometry. They are useful and you'll like them

Mate if you can yet dot eh simplest part of the skateboard (the deck) how do you realistically expect to do complex shapes like the trucks?
Buuut....i feeling helpful this morning so here ya go, your very own tut.
Step 1. Create a plane 5 x 1 segments
Step 2. Move the verts up to the end on the plane
Step 3. Scale in the ends to create the desired curve
Step 4. go to a side view and move the verts up to create the curved ends (see inset)
Step 5. add a meshsmooth modifier to smooth it out (uncheck 'isoline display' to show you how dense the mesh is getting because iterations values of over 2 will make the model very poly-heavy, i used '1' here)
Step 6. add a shell modifier to give the bord thickness
Step 7. thank mrgrotey :p
