In all seriousness, I'd estimate the amount of work you have in front of you to:
1. 6+ Months learning modeling + animation + texturing
2. 1,5 years to build all the assets, gather sounds and build the level(s)
In all you're looking at two years of pretty dedicated work. I don't want to put you off though, it's great fun modding! You just have to face the realistic fact that this will take some time.
You can find some basic modeling guides in the developement section, but I recommend using google as you advance your skills.
