Modelling

[Muffin]

I just got Blender and I'm trying to learn how to model. Ive been searching youtube for videos and Ive looked at the main website.. I know nothing about the program. If anyone could link a place were i can learn the absolute basics on modeling and stuff like that that would be great.
If someone posts a link before you still post yours so i have more than one reference to look at.
Thanks
Edit: I want to know how to take a pic of a weapon and then cover it and make it a model ive seen videos of this on youtube but not detailed instructions.

How I learned,

Practice.

Hit space to add shapes, and S to resize them.

I hope moving them is self explanatory.

and it should be an ok learning curve from there.

Does that really work?

NINJAEDIT: I mean is it so easy? I've seen in RTB modeling tutorial writing "Its not hard to model, Its hard to find out what to model."

[Captain Crazy]

Print Screen Key (on the keyboard it's usually abbreviated to something like "PrtSc")

[Muffin]

That will take a pic of what im doin? and save it to what... the pictures folder?

[JTBreslow]

Print screen, open it in any image editing program (press CTRL and V), then save.

Here are some pictures... IM rtying to figure out how to rotate a cylinder to make a sall barrel

Note before you hate i have never touched this progra before..

Edit: ill post the final thing when im done with it.

Search super3boy. He has VERY good tutorials.

He just tought me how to rotate :D

[Muffin]

Here is my final product.. its not perfect, but it looks good for somone who has never used this program before.. right?Dont hate ok.. it might suck

any sugestions? tips? edits?

Um, looks like a bunch of boxes, but it's your first so giving you a hard time for it is unfair. Using rotate, scale, and extrude is useful!
