WIP - My first EVER play with 3ds max or any 3d modelling

[Plissken UK]

hi im really quite new to this and after two hours of getting used to the program i decided to make this model, just becasue i love the features of the weapon.

Where do i go from here eg, in terms of texturing animating etc?

Any tips advice most appreciated , please dont hurt me

^inspiration^

Also how do i get shadows in my renders , any good tutorials around?, and how do i cut into something in 3ds max like i had trouble with the finger guard on that pistol and some of the hoops? Please any help for me would be most helpful.
