If you are not satifisfied with your model, you may tweak a little bit, beforeconverting it into Editable Poly. Next, we will create a curly pig tail. Instead of extrude polygonagain and again, we will use a unique feature from 3dsmax, which is Extrude Along Spline.

In Command Panel, click Create Tab. Press Shapes button and then Helix button. In viewport Left,click and drag to create helix spline. Click Modify tab, and change the values like image below.YoumaycreatethissplineanywhereonLeftviewport.

A dialog box will open. Click Pick Spline button, and click helix spline you have createdearlier. Enter the same values as displayed in the image and don't forget to activate Along to facenormal.
