    You can probably decompile the model (milkshape has a plugin that can do this), open it in a program (like milkshape), and select wireframe. Unfortunately, milkshape doesn't do renders very well, so it may be better to do this in another program

    I think others on the board can probably point you in the right direction.

    Moved to customization help and troubleshooting.

    If you have no intentions of actually editing it (just viewing it from different angles and such) you don't need to do anything as complicated as decompiling. Just download the
    <a href='http://www.swissquake.ch/chumbalum-soft/hlmv/index.html' target='_blank'>HLMV (half-life model viewer)</a> which is coincidentally made by the same people who made milkshape. After installing you should be able to double-click any of the models in the "models" folder for NS. You can choose wireframe, two options of viewing it without the skin, or normal view -- just use the drop-down menu towards the bottom left.
