I doubt I'll hit any sweet spots with this post but... Can anybody make or point me to a good podium model (or brush group) that fits into the aperture science world? Like a teacher's podium or something. There is a room that just doesn't look good without it, and the brush-crap that I've put together sucks.

If not, can anybody point me to a FREE 3d-editing program. I don't think that exists... but...

AFTERTHOUGHT:Does modtool really have a model-editor?

cant help with the model...

one free 3d model making porgram thing i know of: http://www.anim8or.com/
u mite need to use one or mode programs to convert the models you make into somethig that can be used by hammer....

Two free modeling programs are XSI Mod Tool and Blender. XSI Mod Tool is a limited version of SOFTIMAGE|XSI and can save models in Valve smd format from start. Blender, which is open source, needs an additional plugin to be able to export models for Source. You can get it on Valve Developer Community.
