Yet another person to give up. It takes alot of patience to learn how to model.. And you can just press f4 in the viewport to make it smooth and hilights.

And start with an easy easy gun, then get harder and more detailed, and if you think of it as spending say 10 minuites on the barrel details, spending 20 minuites getting the handle correct then you should be able to do it with less frustration.

that was the gun used in the tuturial..i thought it would be easy..what gun do you suggest to get started on?

Start something simple, like a pistol. 9mm is good.
