Go to http://blender.org for free 3D software. It's fairly easy to learn the basics in that program. You don't have to piece together models that other people have made.

Or wings3d, which is also free and IMO easier to use.

I've never been a fan of Blender's user interface, but that just my personal tastes. I know that there are lots of people that love it. Anyway, I don't want to get into a bash-fest on utilities. I did want to mention that there are now export scripts that will allow you to save Blender models in .X format which is an important feature for SE modders of Star Fury and most likely SE V.

I've heard of wings 3D, but never saw it in action. Could you give me a link to the software?

Hi TAZ!

Didn't know you frequented this forum. Thanks from me and many others for all the support work you do on DoGA.

Thanks guys. I was hoping that David Gervais would post some good free software sites and links. He is after all the Avatar King.

Wings 3D is a fairly simple program to use but lacks the texturing capabilities of other programs. link

Which is why you get lithunrwap. Also free but no longer updated..I imagine by the time it gets too out of date Wings will have decent texture support.
