Hi
I'm not sure if i can help but the way i'm learning people modeling is to get some examples and try to copy them after 2 of 3 models you thould know how to model you'r own. Get a Model viewer for some game check out the wire frame and try to copy it.It's good to start with a low poly game like half-life1. you can download free models from http://www.polycount.com i'm not sure from there i got the HLMV (Half-life Model Viewer) But just google it and download it.It's preaty small but you can view HL models,animation,texture and wirefrake you can also export textures.I'm not good at texturing so i "borrow" some texture for now. Check out My Forum in Modelers corner to see some models.
