3d models for 3dsmax

[Boyce81]

After looking through about a million forums and search engine responses, I have come to the conclusion that it is impossible to get from p3d to 3ds, so I was wondering if anyone can send me some models that work in 3dsmax.  I need US soldiers / Seals preferably or delta guys and I need Opfor.  thanks for the help

P3D to 3DS

1.   Because .3DS format have limitation on texture name length (8.3),
     recommended rename in O2 textures with more than 8.3 name

2.   With TexView convert textures from .PAA and .PAC to .TGA;
     Copy textures to directory, where is our .P3D file
     Textview direct download: http://www.storiamilitare.org/o2/dw/texview_11.zip

3.   Run "P2MS.EXE MY_FILE.P3D"; As result we have some .MS3D files (in every file original LOD).
       Optionally possible create geometry scale factor.    
      Then type "P2MS.EXE MY_FILE.P3D 0.5"

4.   Convert .MS3D in .3DS with any convertion program (LithUnwrap highly recommended)

     Note: MS3D=Milkshape 3D model format

i ran the file just like it says in the readme.  "p2ms.exe my_file.p3d" and all it does is just sit there. and says "****p3d open ok****"  after that nothing.  what now?
I am sorry if i am being difficult

but i do appreciate your help

1. Uncompressed PBO directory *.P3D  *.PAA  *.PAC files.

2. Full command line
    p2ms C:\Model\soldier.p3d 0.5 C:\Model

    Without number values no wireframe models.

3.  Convert PAA images to TGA (uncompressed) dont change orginal filenames.

4.   Add missing textures (soldier0.ms3d model only) with lithiumwarp or milkshape 3d

5.  Convert MS3D (only first soldier0.MS3D ?) to 3DS dont change directory names.

     Ready 3DS model UWV mapped and textured model no animations.
