I'm a beginner and I'm slowly learning how to get my hands on the models. Succeeded in extracting textures and skeletal meshes so far for the characters with umodel.exe I've got a bunch of .psk and .tga and .mat files. Sreenshots Am I on the right track? Any suggestions? Anyone did this before? Hopefully will be able to fiddle with the models later. Not sure if I'll have the energy and knowledge to do it though. Next step would be import into Blender, redo skeleton and then export to SFM format I guess.

Yeah I do this all the time. Just import the PSK into blender and export to SFM.

Thanks :) Importing into Blender worked so far for the model and animation (if I ever need the animations... could be useful too) Still haven't figured how to import the textures, but it's looking promising. Will keep on working on it for the next few days.
