I know there are few people here that are good 3D game artists, perhaps this could be a showcase opportunity, its require volunteers.
They primarily need modellers, UVmappers and texturers, I think they want those skills all in one, but from the sounds of their emails, they need these traits on the teams more urgently, its quite a big project, I think such a think will be worth it, for the experience and that you will see your work in something satisfying.
