I apologise in advance for this naf question but I'm new to maya modeling and lord knows I'm trying!
The problem is that when I go to extrude a Face (a) it ends up all mashed together (b) and I have to pull it back out.... In the tute I'm trying to follow it just sits happily on top after an extrude so i think there must be somthing wrong and it's probably just some setting.......

Anyway thanks - petey

Try opening up the options box for the extrude tool and see if any of the settings, like the scale, look wrong. Maya remembers the settings you apply in the options box for each subsequent use of the tool.

well I checked that but I think it looks ok
All of the scale settings are at 1?

Set the offset value to zero. Offset controls how much the face shrinks or expands after it has been extruded.
