A lot of these methods work with gmax as well, try out modelling on GMax and then decide if 3D Studio Max is worth getting. For me, it don't get any better than 3D Studio Max.

You can easily find tutorial sites, that give you a basic run of modelling. This however is the very tutorial that could help you, stick at it and be persistent, it's a long 8 pages, but it explains: Basic modelling, the spline and line tool, as well as the boolean tool (Which in terms of planar modelling are the most commonly used tools):

After you get the hang of that, learn how to UVW map your models (preparing them for texture artists):

This section needs to be severely updated, so who will take the reigns of this moddb profile hmmm?

I frequently check here, I just couldn't get Volkov, so I had to add RA :(

I was just looking over the website, and although I've only been on the team a short time, I think this total conversion is gonna rule, and no-one can take that away from us.
