@ folypro : Im not sure what the style is called basicaly you make a box then delete all but the top side ( though Im sure you can use what ever side applys to what your doing) then you make all cuts that corispond to your blueprint then move them all into place. I havent extruded anything yet but if I remember right there will be a point to do that along with some camfering. As for poly count Im not sure but its getting up there. Thanks for the kind words for my model Im suprised its comeing along so well ( regaurdles of a few bugs in the mesh).
@ pogmahone: Nothing would show up. come to think of it none of the other scenes showed up. BRB....
well It looks as though I had an Alshimers moment :) I skipped a very important step. I hadnt exported from 3ds (DOH!!!)
Thank all of you guys for the help and sugjestions (tips) I learned a few things that that I may not have figured out till way down the road. (and a few headaches later ;) )
