I generally only do real-world oriented pics (with a few exceptions), and I've had very little difficulty locating real-world props, etc when I needed them. Although I agree that the market seems to be glutted with the pinup-girl stuff, as well as sci-fi and fantasy stuff, but there's still a lot of good real-world stuff there. Also don't forget freebies.
And one of the reasons I learned to model was so I could make what I couldn't buy or download.
I might suggest downloading Wings3d (there's a link to the download site in the forum banner of the Wings forum here), and try your hand at modeling.
