Make a corinthian column?

[Aelin]

Or more exactly the top of a corinthian column. Something like this


I looked a large part of afternoon to find a video or a writted tutorial, and I found nothing except already made columns.

You want to make a column this this? There are many pieces, I think for the details on the top I would use a reference drawing. This may give you some more ideas on how to start Aelin. https: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOHbg2L1Igg&index=4&list=PLP3-5QSIC-VcsndQX3HR1hGDFwDbpcOXh

Thank you for the link. Alas it don't work for me; each time I put it in the url bar, I end on google Don't ask why, because I have no clue myself.
Taking only a part of url to start a search by google, I end on this chain: VscorpianC
Is it this?

Good point! I haven't seen the space 
I was afraid one day I must try this 2D toward 3D way. Too much for tonight I will prepare my mind for this.

  for the idea.

I got curious and wanted to see how a column's wireframe was constructed, found the one in your picture. It didn't load into wings3d but does with DS, changed the preview to shaded wireframe. There is an amazing amount of detail, he probably made it in pieces then replicated and grouped them. That would also make the UV mapping easier. It's a super high quality mesh, not what you normally see - you got a good eye zero in on this one.
