My first glance on blender was a mess. It’s hard to start through without any tutorial! Never try this, please don’t! Finally I did the tutorials within the blender wiki book at http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro . It really helped me to get started with blender and to understand the principles of this piece of s…oftware. 
In the end I am quite firm with blender and I must admin, that it is a cool tool, but I am not getting used to the controls. Maybe some day…
After some hours of work I had the model done. Feeling fine I tried to put a texture on the model. All of a sudden a cold shower ran down my neck. The texture mapping was very strange and I had to remap all the UV coordinates for the whole model. Hours later I finished like this:
As this is my first blender model I lay back and feel fine now, but I think there is still a lot of work until it looks as pretty as it does in the movies… Maybe next time.
