Model Showcase.

As ollie may know I have taken an interest in modelling. I'm using MilkShape, as it is very easy to use. Right now i'm not that good, but I'll get better eventually.
My first model is for the J53. Some sort of triple barreled grenade launcher.
1512 polys and 1044 verts.

Update.
It's a sniper with 960 polys. Probably the A-91.

Milkshape is terrible for modelling.

What Azarael is trying to say is that you'd be better off switching to another modeling program before too long. Milkshape has its uses but when it comes to editing, you want to avoid it. I strongly recommend looking into Blender. Its free, its awesome, and as far as I know, any of the people still working on BW are using it nearly exclusively.

Blender is really complicated and laggy on my laptop

Derp,
if you are serious about modelling then you need to consider upgrading your hardware. Dump Milkshape and use a combination of Blender and Gimp for hobby work. If you want to get really serious and model for a living then consider, as Calypto said, Maya and/or 3DS Max, although you will need serious cash for those.

A pirate at 13? What is the world coming to?

Hidden 3D and 2D artists? In MY community?
@Cal: Blender is faster for raw modelling than Maya.
