If you want to surface model, download rhino. I use it professionally everyday doing shoe soles. Very powerful, cheap, and blows solidworks out of the water for surfacing. Solidworks is excellent for machine design but getting swoopy surfaces on it is a pain. I used to model shoes in solidworks and had 2000 features and a 2gb file size.

Just thought I'd mention for anyone interested in sketchup, a friend of mine is doing a ongoing tutorial series over in workshopaddict.com. I don't have a mind for cadd like some folks do, but I gotta say sketchup is very easy to use once you master just a few concepts. Here's the link:
