That kinda depends on how detailed you want to get, but for starters, they should all start something like this...

Create a Box with Multiple Segments

Smooth Shift
http://img12.photobucket.com/albums/...res/Step_2.png

Smooth Shift Again

Of course from this point you could add panels, guardrails, ect...

Thank you rich_is_bored, that got me on the right course. Thanks a lot. Hey, do you have any pointers on camera setup.. I am having a tough time, getting everything to viewed on the scene with out zooming out oo much, and inclreasing aspect ratio.. Anything will help; maybe you have some setting values you could share. I would appreciate it..

I don't have a tried and true method for setting up a camera.

In fact, the only thing that dictates where and how my camera is setup is the basics of composition.

Remember that you're not limited to rendering images in a 3:4 ratio. You can render at 400 x 2000 or 800 x 50 so don't cater to a monitor unless your making wallpaper.

Also, don't be afraid of overlapping shapes. There is nothing wrong when one object blocks a small portion of another or an object is slightly out of frame. Overlapping shapes create depth and lead the eye.

Do a search for painting composition on google. It should help you out.
