oh and about special tips, this is one thing I learned which is simply an annoyance that can be fixed, im sure you wanna make an elaborate model that will look really good and all, and I'm sure if you try hard you will do it
but what I learned is that most parts of a model can be done in several ways
some of which are the "right" ways and some aren't so "right"
take note to the amount of faces, in your models, we ended up with half a million faces for a small model because we used too many vertex for it's teeth, so try to save up where you can, it will end up cutting you a lot of time on working, our machine almost froze because we used too much faces, gotten to a point we had to go back to the original file of that model, and do it over again (looked the same eventually, but with 90,000 faces instead of 500,000)
