For anyone who's still here wondering what "Control + left middle mouse button" is, it's Crtl + Right mouse button.

Great tutorial! even in 2025. They did say you have to come in with knowledge about how to use Blender. Great work! Love to see more tutorials like this one.

Hmmm....work fine for Me. Have a look again She don't missplace anything.....She move the verties so it will look like the Picture. If You wan't something to look like...You can't just extrude and make loopcut and expect to get Santa claus....:)

But what did I know I'm a Noob.....Cheers ...:)

Horrible tutorial...not even half whats happening is explained. You keep scaling edges or move vertex all around the place because of miss placements. One of the worst tutorial !

Not too bad, but it would be far better and add much more valuable if there was some explanation to the thought process and planning before starting to build the model. Right now its just "monkey see monkey do" so to speak move this, loopcut that, merge this and that. I'm sure everyone will have a nice model in the end, but most will likely not become good/better modelers from watching this tutorial series, as its just ask you to repeatedly copy whats being done on the screen without telling you why, or addressing common pitfalls etc.
