We aren't in need of modellers atm, if you can texture or code as well, the team will love you. If not apply anyway, it can't hurt to show off your skills (unless one of you skills happens to be Karate).
I am capable of 3DS max bout half a year experience. The sword above was made in 3ds in bout 2 hours so somethin big like this i would spend maybe 10+ refining detail. Im not to sure bout unwrapping. probably would have to find a tutorial on the net and memorize them. Thats how i learn, i do numerous tutorials and later builds up to knowledge. well why not give unwrapping a shot.
well we could teach ya then go from there if ya interested?
