There was supposed to be a blend file for Claas’ article on modeling an iphone. Somehow it didn’t get included in the blend download zip.

Okay I didn’t put it in because I totally forgot to grab it from Claas.   I was obviously having a senior moment.

But I now have the file and nam has ever so nicely tucked it into the blend download zip file and you can download it at your convenience.
