I want to make a person in blender

I remember way back when I started using blender 2.42 I tried to make a human like model by following a tutorial. And I did not even get the face done.

So now I want to make a woman world war 2 military character and have her ride the military vehicles I want to make with blender.

I do enjoy using blender it just that I never seem to make much or get a project finished. I hope that changes.
