No problem Scott. :o) I really should do my own tutorial some day...

My pleasure. :o)

You smoothed it too many times, x 3. One is ok, but two at a push is
fine, (depending on your scene).
It looks like everything (on the arms of your model), were *pinched*
together by smoothing, producing that black area.
I just got the same result by doing the same.
It might look horrible and angular in Wings after one/two smooth/s,
but the result in Pov is always better. Experiment.
