Xwing Thrusters and Turbines

Ok so I know this is only minor, but I decided to blog as it amazed me how something so simple can give such a dynamic look to a cylinder. I connected the sides and set slide to move the new edges to the end. I then selected the end vertices and used to scale tool to shrink then to create a great slanting exhaust.
As for the turbines, this posed quite a task for me. I wanted to create the inverted T shape that goes across the front, but how to make a curved cylinder protrude oblongs. Eventually I found a method of connecting the inside polygons, then connecting these. It was then a case of extruding, deleting obstructing polygons and then target welding across.
