Which directory to put .mdls in?

[splash]

I just downloaded a .mdl file. A school bus to be exact. I just don't know which folder to put it in. Im new to the mapping/modelling aspect so I don't know so much about where to put files etc.. dont have probs with .vmf,.bsp etc. But model files, .mdl etc i am clueless...

I tried putting it in \models but when i opened hammer and tried using it, it just said error.

A little help would be much appreciated.

It goes to "modname/models" folder.

 

[splash]

Yes, ok. But, I have placed it there but it says error when i try loading it in hammer.

Are you mapping for Half-Life 2 or something else? Also check the model's original folder.
