There's also the op****tunity for you to define what you want to get as
specifically as possible, and send it to your "candidates" for a bid.
The more specifically you define what you want, the more easily someone
can judge exactly what they have to do. Concept art is a good addition
here. Mind that you'll also want to define the dates you need them by
and the formats you need them in.

I can't make these sorts of judgements for you. A 50-100 polygon
missile I could probably do my(programmer)self in 3D Studio in about 20
minutes. The ****p would take quite a bit longer but getting untextured
models will be quite a bit cheaper than getting them with textures,
since the textures are where most of the detail comes from.

Well, only you know your budget. There's also the option of "back-end",
which many students and entry-level folks may be interested in, but that
increases the amount of paperwork you'll need to do. How much of the
sale price of the product do they get, and under what cir***stances do
they lose their shares, etc.
-tom!
