A good easy modeller that's free and produces some good results you may be able to use:

Wings 3D, Cinema 4D (although I haven't been able to find the free build of it), Metasequoia LE, Anim8or

I, too, haven't fully learned to model yet. I know where I want to go with it, but getting there is distracting me. I dunno... I'll figure it out sometime. Just have to keep at it I think.
