In this tutorial, I will show you on how to create the lotus flower statue. 
1. Use Arc tool to draw the lotus flower petal shape. Then, use Push/Pull tool to extrude the shape. 
2. Use Select tool, triple click at the model and make them a group. Bending Model with FedoScale Plugin Now we will bend both sides of the model to curve up. We will use the FredoScale plugin to bend the model. With FredoScale, you can orientate the selection box around a set of objects and interactively apply a number of geometric transformations, such as Scaling, Tapering, Stretching, Plane Shear, Twisting, Bending and Rotation. By extension, some transformation can be done without a selection box.
