Just guessing, but it sounds like you have backface culling switched on... you won't see anything from behind if the faces are "facing away" from the viewer. Solutions � turn backface culling off, or add more polys facing the other direction, so that you can see something from both sides (advantage to this is you could have different texture points on the back face in this case).
