nice work, but i cant see anything,

If I wanted to screw around and make some models, not worrying about textures or anything, what program would I use?

I'd suggest Blender. It's free and fairly easy to use. There're lots of websites out there with tutorials and so on too.

I use 3ds max, but it costs alot of money, i don't know about blender, but still 3ds max is my favorite, with milkshape 3d for the MDL files. i am working on more ships now, trying to create a faction. modeling doesnt take that long, but skinning them is a whole different story, and getting them ready for the game with the cvh objects takes also time.

the one on the right in the second picture reminds me of the Battlestar Galactica

Gmax is a free Modeling program thats nearly Identical to 3DSmax (same company) I think the tutorials are alot less overwhelming. My main issue is finding inspiration. After that's Modeling in those programs is mainly just like solving a jigsaw puzzle except you got a @#(! ton more options to make things fit.

Secondly, some of those ships could be used as models for the Giga Lxy cruiser and the IC Battle Ship.
