Here I tried to make the legs better, I thought I might give it some armor. Don't shoot me if it's worse

I'll follow the tutorials that retardedmonkey gave me.
/Edit: I've got a little problem with my 3ds max, When I select a polygon, only the edges of it glow red, normally the whole polygon is red then. And another problem. I don't have my thing to move objects over a certain axis (forgot the name :s) Like I select a vertex I don't see those lines how I can move it.
