Hey all!

My mesh is looking very strange when I smooth it. I have looked around on the wire, there are no messed up verts, looked at the mesh inside out yet it still seems to go all funky. Any help to get a clean smoothed mesh would be greatly appreciated. :beer:

Thanks in advance!

You need to add more edges at certain places to control the shape. Use this principle for mechanical modelling with subdivisions:
