Something I forgot to mention was that I'd like to import perticle effects too.

Forget the particles, just to get the models you would have to decompile them and convert them to a Source friendly format. There are plenty of resources to do it, but particles aren't possible.

Ok thanks,do you know any trustworthy ones that I should get?

These are reskins of TF2 characters that are material replacements. If you make copies of the TF2 models and put them in usermod or some other game directory and then put these materials with them that's the easiest way to do it. Otherwise you will likely have to go through Blender or Maya and then export them as a Source Model, which means you'll likely have to rig them.

Otherwise you need a decompiler that works with Rift Engine models.

Thanks,what programs would I need to reskin the TF2 models?(I have GCFScape but I can't open vpk files for some reason,it says that they're loaded and I get a root folder which I can do nothing to).

If you're just wanting to paint on a skin, you can use Gimp or Photoshop. If you actually want to put a model onto the player rig, you'll need either Maya or Blender. GCFscape can open vpk files, you just need to go into the options and select it as a filetype for it to open.
