How to attach model to gameobject in script?

So, I am having issues trying to figure out how to attach and show a model when I load a menu. I apparently can create the object, just cant seem to find the info to attach my model to it.

The object I declared shows up in unity inspector and I can assign a model to it, but I never see it when I click play. And advice?

Here is the small bit of code I have creating the object. Not sure if more is needed.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. var baseCharacter : GameObject;
3.  
4. baseCharacter =  new GameObject ("baseCharacter");
5. baseCharacter.transform.Translate(0,-231,-431);
6. baseCharacter.transform.localScale += Vector3(100,100,100);
7. baseCharacter.active = true;
8.  

 

It looks like you haven't "instantiate" your gameObject yet. That's why you can't see it.

 

When I try to instantiate the object it just create a clone of the object it creates. Maybe I dont explain myself well :/

When I start the game, an empty game object shows up under Hierarchy, but no model attached to it.

 

You would need to first make a prefab of the model that you want to create. Then you would instantiate it
