Looking for Object Conversion Expert

I have a few 3DS objects that were designed for a mission I'm working on. Some of them translated very well. But the ancient scrolls, rolled and partially unrolled, are a problem. The rolled up part of the scroll can't be seen in its entirety. At first I wondered if I just needed to make the textures 2-sided. But that didn't make a bit of difference. Here are some pictures of what I'm talking about.

For me it looks like they are not correctly double sided.
How do you convert them - blender or 3dstobin.exe or the old way 3ds-> e -> bin?

Hello Daraan:
I had to first open them in Anim8or, then load and re-apply the textures or they converted without any texture applied. Then I ran them through 3dstobin. If I gave you access to the original 3ds files and textures, would you be willing to try and convert them for me in another program? I downloaded blender but the learning curve is too large for me to deal with just now. This is an area of authoring with which I am completely unfamiliar.

Do it ;)
And I take a look.

Your model has faces on one side only.
