bare in mind it's my first EVER model. the nearest i've got to 3d modeling was radiant for q3! i'm not even sure if i'm doing it right (i believe it's called box modelling), and i find it hard to get stuff aligned correctly. it doesn't look too bad once i meshsmooth it, but i get gaps and stuff. it's taken me about 30mins to get where i am, and a few hours of reading + playing with 3dsmax + following tutorials beforehand

any help appreciated, sorry for the huge image.
