Iīm completely new to modelling, and need some help.

I have some models that have gloves on the hands. The problem is that when I switch from pistol(my colt model has gloves) to knife(for example), the knife model of course doesnīt have any gloves.
Can a n00b modeler like myself fix this, or is it complicated?

I want gloves on all allied weapons(I donīt care about the Axis ones).

Is there any "glove textures" or something that I can simply put over the other models?
:confused:

Are the gloves skinned on are they modelled on?

If they are skinned on (e.g. like Dillingers fingers less gloves) you can easily switch the skins on them using HLMV. They may require resizing but that can be done in any paint program.

If they are modelled on they will require some more tricky work. if they are modelled on give us a shout on either MSN or AIM and I'll help you as best I can.

I have no idea...
How can you tell if itīs modelled or skinned?

I have HLMV and Milkshape, but I have no idea how to use em.
Maybe some msn messaging would be better?

-EDIT-

Heh, I think I figured it out. I opened a model with gloves in HLMV and exported the gloves. Then I resized em to fit the un-gloved model. Imported it, and *kazaam*, it looks like I have gloves! Gotta check it out ingame though.

-ANOTHER EDIT-
Hey, it worked! Iīm happy now! :)
Itīs gonna be some work putting gloves on all the models, but itīs worth it.

-YET ANOTHER EDIT-

What am I supposed to do with the nade hands? Itīs not the same as the guns...
Are there any nade models with gloves that I can "borrow" from?
