as for actually getting the models u will need a modeling program, 3dsmax importing plugin , hl2 , source sdk , mdl decompiler and a gui version of vtf2tga.

yeah just decompile the textures convert them to tga. then do the texture. then compile them to vtf. then place them in the relevant folder to where you decompiled them from. pretty simple stuff and no need to decompile the models unless you want to change the models too.
