if its alright....well good luck mate, most of the modellers I've seen lately are quite busy people, some are starting homework flooding courses like me and Discostu, other done one year of that, BiggAdd, others, you might be lucky,
but the best thing, I've already mentioned, because once you've learnt to model, you won't have the trouble finding what you want as you can make it, it will be more enjoyable, and you will feel great doing your own stuff instead of taking other people work and including them in credits, plus you'll be more proud. Plus 3D modelling is addictive, so the learning curve is helped there
