Noob Question:
How do you get your measurements so consistent, proportional, and symmetrical? I know the Mirror tool helps with these factors, but generally everything you're doing at least appears to have exact measurements. I'm going to take a wild guess and say these involve settings and tools alongside prolonged experience in 3ds Max.
I use the symmetry modifier a lot, to replicate the same dimensions through out the model when needed. I guess practice helps, but its really easy honestly.
To use the symmetry modifier, enter poly mode (Have ur model selected > Right click it > convert to> Poly), then on the right hand side, there will be a drop down list and the name of the list is called Modifier List. Simply click that and scroll down until you find the Symmetry tool.
Never use the mirror tool! Unless you are purposely wanting to use it. It will not weld/cut the two sides together, while symmetry will!
I can make a quick video on how I use it, if you wish.

middle cylinder is boring.
do something fun with it!
also, it reminds me of this
ALSO, how the hell do those 'joints' work, they're just cylinders intersecting another cylinder?
add some sort of cap around it or something.
