Well I would get it textured,
The detail seems pretty solid although the screen shot doesn't really give away too much buddy,
Show us a wireframe (even though in Milkshape it will be messy)
keep it up dude!

Well, you first have to UVmap the model, add a checkered texture to make sure the UVmap is propotional, and then texture based on the UV map, or sometimes what I do is bake a texture from materials and brushed in the 3D modeling program, given if it supports these features.

Cool stuff, i lol'd at your list because i have already created two of those things, but a gas station would be a great addition, possibly make some different versions for different genres?

It depends on your program. I use blender, not milkshape, so I wouldn't know, but honestly just go on the website or use the online manual for this stuff. That, or you can use another UV mapping program like lithunwrap. Just as a tip, I tried googling to see if Milkshape could unwrap, and the wikipedia article (went to wiki to find the original website for Milkshape) for it said that milkshape was for low poly models. To be honest, and truth be told I'm not exactly sure about Milkshape and what it can fully do, but I'd recommend getting used to another free program such as truespace or blender. Again, I'm not sure about truespace, but blender provides all the basics except decent texturing, (i.e. modeling, sculpting high poly meshes, uv mapping, baking texture maps, animating, etc.), and they're both free. But, correct me if I'm wrong, because I'm not entirely sure about milkshape.

i use 3ds max's uv mapper, i found it quite easy to grasp once i figured out i should not have ignore backfacing

i dont know how to uv map in other programs, but i guess i could try milkshape or some other program.

also just a tip: Start small and then work your way up. And dont be afraid of starting over if you dont like it, each time you model you will get better. Trust me.

Looks good but the screen itself should be inside the case and you should chamfer the edges more BTW dont rename .bmp to .jpeg,it doesnt work.

I read a bit about Milkshake a while ago. As far as I can tell/ remember its only good at converting from one 3D file format to another. Yes you can make things in it directly but its not really that good at it. I'd suggest truespace or Blender like SJHooks suggested. These are quite powerful...though I don't have much experience with either as I used Lightwave3D.
