Well after some inspiration from [R-Dev]e-Gor and Z-trooper,I finally got around to downloading Gmax(again) and found the tutorials.
Well I spend a about 2 hours for the past 2 days doing the tutorials.
Then I got tired of it and said 'To hell with this!.' :-)
I spend the next hour making/trying to make something.
I this is what I finally managed to make:

Could anyone direct me to skinning tutorials?
Or at least tell me how to save my model in such a way that GIMP recognises it?

Erm, you can't open a model in gimp...

First, you need to UV map it. There must be a tutorial for it in the Gmax tutorial pack...

Well mapping was the first thing I found tutorials/learnt how to do. I also get more enjoyment out of mapping and do actually find it easier.
I mean anyone can make a map,it's making a good map that's hard. ;-)
