First, thank you to Felix, as I never would have gotten this far without his help.  The man knows everything! 

I wonder if someone could explain to me how to smooth this out a bit?  As I understand it, you set a base level on the part and adjust the individual poly's from there?  I tried it earlier with my fuselage, but with limited results.  I seem to have a problem making everything nice and even.  Aaaarrrggghh!
