Absolutely new? What to do?

[Windu]

Ok. I just got my 3d Max 5.1 set up and working with the script needed to export/import .mdl files.

I was wondering if somebody would be kind enough to explain to me how a simple model edit can be done: For example I want to edit the Rifleman model and add a goblin head.
Any tutorials/explanations will be graetly appreciated.

I really want to try modelling myself, but I just can't figure out where to start.

Thanks.

I wouldn't do it with 3ds MAX, but with Oinkerwinkle's Vertex Modify, a free modelling tool:
