If you haven't already found the xentax forum you might want to look in there.
So long as your going to put some effort into learning to extract the game models yourself and not go requesting models from others they won't have any problem helping you out.

My personal opinion on game models (not this forums opinion),
is that if you extract the models yourself, make them buildable (not just unfold them), do not redistribute the original 3D data (within say a pepakura file, use .jpg,.png or .pdf instead), and credit the game and game company in a form of free advertising, then you have a genuine 'fanart' model.
Throwing a game model you found into pepakura, unfolding it in a way that is impossible to build unless you build it 3 feet tall and then 'publishing' the pepakura file with your name plastered all over it, that isn't modeling, it's just blatant theft.
The internet is full of such models and a growing attitude of 'forget the buildability, look at the textures', it's sad to see.

Anyway, enough ranting on this topic, wish you luck and hope you learn something from extracting the game models.
