Well, there are two basic ways to approach this: 1) Do the geometry, which is often quite challenging. 2) Try a mock-up made from cereal box or shirt card board. Cut and fit by trial and error. When everything is right you can either - give up and just use the mock-up, or use the mock-up as a template for the styrene or wood, or whatever you are making the "finished" model from. Of the two, I'd say the second is probably easier in the long run, unless you are really good at math, and cutting & assembling. Andrew
