Apart from them being as ugly as sin, what can I improve on?

Alright, you know the vertex selection (Dot selection) mode? Go into that when editing a mesh, select two or more dots, put them in one location, then find the "Selected" button. The numbers to the right of it is how close dots need to be together to weld. If you want them to have to be in the same exact position, set it to 0.001.
This can be handy for reducing poly's across a flat mesh.
Blazea58 posted a few tutorials to better explain how to use extrude and weld on renhelp.net.

and

While you don't have to follow them exactly, try to understand as best you can. Welding, extrude, snap, and so on are incredibly handy tools for making awesome looking stuff while using as little poly's as possible.

Basically to have clean models it is ideal to have a single mesh then it can be worked on from there. Welding is to take overlapped vertices and joining them together making them one vertices, and best way to not 'plop' objects is to,extrude,bevel, and such to create and weld different meshes to form your model.
** yes renhelp is a great asset i suggest you read all tutorials regarding modeling/map making, and experiment.

I may be very new but I'll try to make some stuff, although it will be quite awhile I'm sure before I make anything worth using. But you only learn by practice, right?
Thanks for the replies, Mauler and Cabal.

Sorry for the triple-post 
But here's some quickie tunnels I did to experiment with the instructions provided by the tutorials. Nothing special, just something to get the basics down.
And a question: how do you handle that blasted freehand camera? I try using it to rotate my view and it also moves the camera halfway across the map. I have to zoom out a lot, rotate, then zoom back in. Am I handling the thing wrong?

well from the sound of it, your viewport is in USER mode, pressing P just changes it to Perspective camera mode much better tbh. In order to change it you viewport has to be selected.

Sorry to bump the topic, but I figured it out, it had to be set to 'selected' to rotate around current object.
