3D models..

Looks might be deceiving. The accuracy might well be off, overly simplistic, and parts are likely to have been modeled wrong. I would be super sceptical before even concidering buying anything.

I suppose any 3D application with a polygon smoothing tool would suffice.

Personally, I find the lack of proper references a big problem when modeling. I modeled the Millennium Falcon basicly by comparing the model with screenshots from the movies Linky1 Linky2

This old model was made with what is now called Autodesk Maya. The model here is actually a mix between nurbs surfaces for the larger oval shapes, and polygons for the details. Of course, today I would probably use only polygons, or start off with nurbs and convert it to polygons.

Maya is a bastard modeling program imo. Works nicely, but I would argue that it does not always offer user friendly modeling tools. For example, you can modify a polygon object by using the animation tools (deformations). You would have to know about this beforehand or learn it later on.

Here is the uboat I modeled years ago: Linky
