2/ How to integrate'em on our maps.
Thanks.
The sort of witty, tautological answer to your question is that you 1) make the model in a modelling program and 2) integrate it in into your map by including it.
For the first, there are many different options for what to model in. I think 3D Studio Max has a following around here. As for the second, as far as I know, the only way to go is PakRat.
You can get more information and download the program here:

For tutorials, I'd suggest searching this site:

It takes a lot of time and effort to become a good 3D-modeler. You will need to spend huge ammounts of time in order to learn even the basics. But tutorials are always a huge help, and it will only be a matter of time before you can create anything you want.
