Hey I've spent over 5 years working with 3D models and texture art and I still make stuff that I think sucks.

It's one of those things you have to keep cranking at or be ready to pay someone to do.

It takes me 5 hours at least to make a half decent fps rifle. Thats not including texturing which could take another hour or more. All in all it's about a buisness days worth of work to do it right.

Thus it's not something to be just whipped up for free.

A tank is requires even more work especially when it comes to tracks, scripting, and animating.

The trick is start simple and work your way up. When it comes to game developement jumping in over your head will only get you drowned.

asking someone to make something time consuming for you-10 dollars

asking him to do it for free-1000 dollars

going to turbosquid.com-priceless

for some things you need a credit card for everything else there is turbosquid.

The best way to get free good models is to download extra game models.
Find a site that has CS (Counter-Strike) models and find what u need.
Cs has both first and third person models so you can use them.
For a tank look for a DOD (Day Of Defeat) Models.

As long as u use these just for fun (not selling) it's ok to use them.

About the tank treads....
Cant you just use a flip book or animated texture? The stuff shown in 075 demo. The computer screen and the wall countdown from 4 to 0. Is that hard to do? Otherwise, a tank is nothing more than a complex mesh model. A tank would be composed of 3 main objects. The tank base, the turret top and the barrel. Then with some scripting you could script all of it to work together. It would be a scripted pawn. Program the base to rotate and move with arrow keys. Have the turret rotate left and right with the mouse and the barrel up and down with the mouse. I dont know how to script in mouse movement and control but how hard can it be? Then make the barrel fire with a mouse click. Remember that all the parts have to be scripted to be attached to eachother.

**All my suggestions in this post are theory.
