And second method for you, but I think first method more flexible.

Hi Chen and Valentin,

Based on a mixture of both your methods Valentin, this will remove the seam and also the need to create a trimmed surface

Maybe some help

Also you can add in the Graph Mapper for some more control over the profile curve. Here is some sort of turret, but you can easily adjust the profile curve with the graph mapper to achieve a different shape.
