i was using the robot tutorial above (freestuff \> tutorials \> beginners robot blahblah)

and you know the picture with the colored lines and stuff (its like the 3rd big one), on the chest of the robot, it has black lines.

and under the picture, it says black lines are made up of cylinders.

so my quesiton is, how did he use the cylinders to get the black lines to look like the real robot chest (in the first picture)? i hope you get what i mean…thx

The chest is just made up of a cylinder!  
Take a look! The picture with the colored lines is just the Front view viewed as wireframe!
