if you downloaded the 30 day trial off the discreet website go get the tutorial files and read the getting started tutorial it explains every basic little thing in 3dsmax (after reading that i got going on some models took 30 minutes max)

then what you got the basics down and know what button does what i recommend you look at <a href='http://www.hl2modcentral.com/tutorial.php?id=23' target='_blank'>THIS</a> video tutorial it will go over the more advanced meathods of modeling weapons for games
