 Process: Measurements - ongoing throughout the modelling: Modelling:      Starting out with the measured outer diameter, then extrude. Then I realized that the top was slightly smaller than the bottom, so I made two circles and then lofted them. With the proper offset for the thickness of the flashlight. But you can't, or I least I couldn't, loft all four at once, so I had to do the two pairs separately and then make them into one object afterward.  Organizing everything Then added in the thicker parts, and measured the space between the two so that I could properly space the two of them. Added in some circles, so that I could loft them to make the slanted parts of the thicker parts of the flashlight.  Then I started making some shapes so that the bevels would be the right size - the rectangle is to get the right width.  Then making the rough shape of the bevel.  It happens 8 times, so setting that up and extruding them so they extend up to both ...
