You got a lot of problems going on there. For starters, it looks like the weight painting and skeletal data are trashed. Also, you've got missing textures. I can't really comment futher without knowing more details on how you converted it, how you have your .VTF/VMT files set up, what the .QC looks like, etc.

i converted it using crowbar. i dont know what you mean by my texture files being set up. and heres the qc

$modelname "cl3nr\krasue\krasue.MDL"

$bodygroup "body" {

Studio "krasue.smd"
Studio "krasue_animations.smd"
}

$cdmaterials "models\cl3nr\krasue"

$sequence "idle" "krasue_animations.smd" {
fps 30
loop
}

$surfaceprop "default"

$contents "solid"

You don't convert it in Crowbar, you compile it. It doesn't sound important, but it's two very different things.

Anyway, as for your .QC file...Get rid of the "krasue_animations.smd" in the bodygroup header.

For materials, they need to be in .VTF format. They will also need a .VMT file, so SFM can read it. If you did this already, make sure all the file names are in sync, and that the .VMT has the same directory in it as the directory in the .QC file.

Then it might be a weight painting problem. What happens when you open the .SMD file in a 3d modeling program?

the model is small, but the bones are large

That doesn't matter, at least right now. What happens when you move the bones?
