Depending on how detailed you want your model will kind of dictate how far you have to go on the UV Mapping. If your model is mostly just a front and back, like the sword, you can get a way with the way we did the sword model. If it's more 3 dimensional, like a pistol, animal, etc. You'll have to do some more work.

Here's a tutorial we made using a slightly different format. It's designed for an intermediate user looking for ideas on how to go about modeling something. As we created this model, we took lots of screen captures with the idea that we would create a tutorial with lots of reference photos and fewer words.
