The new and improved 3D model topic!

Question to pros - I am making this gun here:


I already finished most of it, I am adding the details now. One of the things I can't do though, is add the tape and string around the model. Can someone tell me how they would do it?

string = extrude a cylinder around the model
tape = extrude a thin box around the model

Tape shouldn't be too hard, get the faces from around the rifle at one point, extrude outward, size it down, and slap it on your rifle.
String, I forgot the tool for that, there used to be one in the XSI mod tool that I used, I"m sure blender has that.

If it's a game model just use one sided planes.

What texture? The symbol was modeled. And if you don't play Mass Effect I'd rather not have someone muck it up with bad coding not true to the game.

I just ripped the sound for the gun man.
