I'm not going to lie, I struggle with making Orbiter addons, even though I've been an active member in the community for over a decade. I've read [ame="http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=2730"]ar81's tutorials[/ame] but, and maybe because I'm a person who understands a process better seeing something done versus reading about it, I still don't really understand the process about creating a mesh, texturing, et cetera. Would a more experienced addon developer be willing to make a YouTube tutorial on how the basics about how to make an Orbiter addon (assuming one doesn't already exist)? I believe something like that would be useful to both new and old members alike to figure out how to create an addon.
 
I don't do meshes and textures myself, so I'm not sure if this will help you; but, David Courtney has a ton of Orbiter tutorials, one set of which is a 6-part series on using Gmax to create a rocket. Again, I don't know if it will have everything you need, but you could have a look.

 
Simple single stage rocket using GMAX and lathe modifier by me.
