Also if you want to make skins/concepts, most people just use photoshop/Paint Shop Pro or somethign of the like.

u cant just paint on the gun like on a wall ( well atleast not with milkshape) 8)
u have to go throug a much complexer procedure read about it in the topic
u need to then need to skin it, we'll talk about that l8er
Milk<b>shape</b> is a <i>very</i> good little program, so don't be dissing it that way. Not to mention you're dodging the swear filter.
Razorblade:
Sounds like what you need is a skinmeshing tutorial (to get a 2D representation of your model you can paint on, essentially). Alas I dont' know of any good Milkshape ones - I had to learn by just jumping in and trying things, but maybe other people here can suggest some tuts.

You will also need a photo/picture editing program like PSP or Photoshop
