Yeah, there is an obvious gap in here with that kind of thing)

You may try to collect some pieces and bits tho. Like in the chest course (Chapter 2):

Or look here for the shaders: https://cgcookie.com/course/shader-forge
Or that one: https://cgcookie.com/live_streams/texturing-the-simple-airplane (have a modelling pre-course)
This one too: https://cgcookie.com/course/texturing-game-assets-with-blender (have a modelling pre-course too)
This one is good: https://cgcookie.com/course/shading-the-sci-fi-helmet

There is a great bunch of info: https://cgcookie.com/course/working-with-custom-transform-nodes-in-cycles

It is kinda scattered around, sadly.
