Coder looking for team

I have a story of my programming experience in this next paragraph. You can skip it if you want.
Hi. I'm a thirteen-year-old guy who has been working with game programming for about two years now. For the first year I used DarkBASIC obsessively on and off but never made 3D games with it. All I did was make 2D games with horrible graphics I made in paint. Once I did make 3D games, I only used pre-made 3D models. The games were choppy framerated and I asked around and people said since DarkBASIC was layred it tends to be slower. So I got into C++. Just a few little console applications. Then I discovered SDL and went mad with it making all sorts of silly arcade games like with DarkBASIC only with some more advanced graphics now that I had PhotoShop. But no artwork of people or anything. Just like Space Invaders rippoffs and asteroids and pong, all that stuff. Eventually I got bored with that and wanted to take the step to 3D. After carful research I found Torque which I chose not just 'cause it made 3D stuff easier, but becasue of AI, audio, starterkits, great liscensing, etc. SO now I have it... but I can't make 3D models! I just modify the starter kits but keep their models.
If you want the summery, basically I can code but not model or draw.
Now I seek either a moddler or a team with a moddler that I can code for, for free. Just want to be in a group since there is no one in my home town community I can do this with.
Help me please,
Joe Bates
