FWIW, I have been casually looking for a good repository of free 3d models
on and off for a while and I haven't found any really good sites. There is
3dCafe, and 3dKingdom, and a bunch of sites that post a few models here and
there. I usually google then sift thru the results.
You can expand your search to include .3ds models and then use something
like openFX to convert them to .dxf. This will open up the world a wee bit
more.

Does anyone know how i can get data from the "3D Kingdom", which
appears to have the *.MAX format into IDL? I have OpenFX, so i could
in principle convert to *.DXF and read into IDL. However, OpenFX only
reads in formats such as *.MFX, *.3DS, *.DXF and *STL, but nothing
about the *.MAX format.
many thanks,
Neil
