Mapping is harder then the acual modeling to me. I believe somewhere around here or possibly on Bond1's site(hes the author) he has a tutorial/vid for mapping in Max. Not sure much would apply as that looks like Lith unwrap. Problem using a program thats no longer supported is finding information on it. I know alot like it though.

Perhaps look up any mapping tutorials to get an idea of the concept. That model looks quite hard to texture to me thus far

Good luck man

Xaque, I am not sure what exactly your model is, but I feel the main thing you are missing out on is 'groups'!!!

Groups faces together. For example, make a cylinder kind of thing in your model a different group. Same way group other faces which share something in common into another group and so on.

The nice thing about Milkshape is that you can assign the textures to the groups and it can do a decent job of what I like to call "automapping".
I won't go into a dissertation on how to assign textures using Milkshape but I am sure there is some kind of tutorial out there for it.

aaah xaque. Now I see I was right.

You had tried UVmapping the whole model at once. Don't do it unless your model is a plain simple geometric shape.

For objects like yours, its always better to break it up into groups.
Just by looking at your model I can suggest breaking your model into :
1. fingers (cylindrical mapping)
2. arms (cylidrical mapping)
3. palm (box mapping)
4. main part of gun (box mapping)
5. barrel and other parts of gun (cylindrical mapping)

depending on how far you want to get into mapping check out DeepUV from Right Hemisphere. It is the best program for this type of thing, I believe they have a demo program for use on thier website:
