I've loved all these modeling lessons, but now I have a lot of objects to apply materials and textures to and I'm not really sure where to start.
For example, to get that rusty look for the revolver how should I proceed?
What about the skin of the cartoon head? I would use texture, but is it good for animation?
Hey eireen , that question means you're ready for the next step! You could apply materials and such to these models, but I'd actually recommend moving on to other projects for learning that. Here are a few courses that will show you how to make just about any kind of material or texture:

https://cgcookie.com/course/texturing-weapons-in-blender-and-substance-painter
https://cgcookie.com/course/shader-forge
https://cgcookie.com/course/creating-mini-tanks-for-a-mobile-game
Each of the courses show a slightly different method - try them all and see which you like best! Happy rendering!
Thanks a lot, Jonathan, there is a lot of courses and I really didn't know where to start!
