Tinkering with this again...  At this rate, I may finish this in time for FSXX...

I'm looking for a way to merge these parts together so they look joined instead of tacked on.  Any thoughts?

the boolean technique is valid tho it has been know to be "dirty"... as in it´ll leave you with a bunch of misplaced vertices that appear to have come from the realm of beyond and will maybe make editing the joint difficult in the future...

two ways to fix it:

1 - after booleanizing, convert back to poly and use target weld to get rid of the unwanted verts...

2 - don´t boolean, CUT the print of the shape to be attached into the part you want it to attach to, delete the faces inside the cut and target-weld the verts into place... OR instaed of welding the verts directly, use the create polygon tool (create, under polygon sub-level) to create the faces that join the two
