I find Blender to be very easy to use, and Milkshape hard to use.so there.
Save your self the trouble and get Sketchup, It's free and you can save your models. You'll still need blender to fix the models you make up though.
sketchup - bag o' stuff
It works so how exactly is it a bag o' stuff, just face it google have made a good piece of software even though I'm a huge fan of Blender.
