1) find some reference photos
2) study the shape to see how it could be easily made
3) make it
Go to google.com, click images, then type "gas bottle".
Make a folder (I usually make a "Ref Images" folder in my scenes folder under the project. So:
Scenes\Ref Images I usually make a folder for RENDERS and one for MAX FILES, but I'm a bit Obsessive Compulsive), and right-click and save the ref images in there.
A Gas Bottle (LP Gas?) is a cylinder and there is a cylinder primitive built into Max.
There is also a OilTank primitive under Extended Primitives that looks like a pill and can easily be the basis of your Gas Bottle.
Hope this helps.
You might also get some help if you post in the Newbie section.
