Once again looking for info on making 3d ships

Ok, I'm bored and waiting for SEIV...

Could someone point me in the right direction for getting information on making 3d models for use with Starfury and hopefully SEIV as well? I've done searches and am coming up empty. I specifically can get up enough interest and investement in time and $ if I can get the model to work in Starfury and SEIV.

Assume I know nothing about 3d modeling, but have a fair share of PC knowledge and thats where I am at.

The SE.net newsletter featured an article by David E. Gervais on the creation of ships for SE:V and Star Fury.

I also made a small tutorial some time ago. It's not great and I use an old version of SlotModder but it covers most of the aspects of making a ship. You can find it here:

I didn't realize to resize the images so the text can be annoying to read with 1024x768 and lower resolutions. Sorry about that.
