Just so you know, 90% of the DXF models at 3D Cafe also have versions in their native format, usually 3DS, and if the model is shown with textures in the thumb it'll be this file that contains them. The DXF files are a bit of a throwback - DXF was the first 'universal' format that sprang up - pretty much everything can import a DXF. Nowadays, pretty much everything can import (or at least make a game effort) 3DS files so it's sort of supplanted the DXF format for model sharing. Definately check out the SciFi 3D link above - they're easily the best Star Wars models in the public domain. By the way - does anyone know if the Star Wars Modelling Alliance (SWMA) is ever coming back?
