Hi fellow blender users. I finall did it. I finally created and textured my first model.
This link opened up the secret for me and I hope it will do the same for you.

watch carefully you will see a little trick during UV unwrap. Blender contains a smart engine that saes you having to cut or split the meshes in order to create a texturable uv map. this video has unlocked the secret and has lead to my success. It was the positive thoughts of the members here that made me search harder to find this secret.
I can't thanks you all enough. I am happy as larry and will post an image of that first model here shortly. The texturing isn't anyway near perfect but it is my own work from start to finish. From this i can build and with practice I can mirror the fantastic modelers here and share my work.
I hope you can see the pic. This is my success story in print.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
