Looking for AAA modelers' portfolio sites
Hey guys and gals! I've got a favor to ask. I hope this isn't too unusual a request.
I'm putting together my first serious portfolio site. Since graduation, I've been doing a lot of freelance work for small startups, and I feel confident I'm ready to start pushing for a bigger industry job.
I'm looking to find the portfolio sites of 3d modelers who are employed by big development teams. Preferably hard surface prop and weapon modelers. I want to see how their websites are organized, what kinds of work they have displayed, how they display it, and how their portfolios compare to the thoughts I have on portfolio-building. If you closely follow the work of particular artists, know someone personally, or are employed yourself, I'd love a link.
General sound advice on building an impressive portfolio is also welcome.
No unsolicited messages will be sent, scout's honor. I've got no desire to be a pest, this is purely for personal education.
It's already been suggested that I pull names from the credits of games and stalk them through Google, and that's on my to-do list, but asking here as well couldn't hurt.
Thank you all for your time!

You can usually just look at their signature or click their profile to see their portfolio.
For example, here's a guy who worked on Halo 4 and COD (JDinges).

but for now, I think you should focus on you works rather than looking for what you call " AAA modelers' portfolio" aka "portfolio sites of 3d modelers who are employed by big development teams."
Artists working for a big-fancy studio on many AAA title doesn't mean that they have a great portfolio, they simply have great works. If your work is good, then just throw them on a blank website with your name, contact info and there you have it
This is a link to tons of portfolios and is all that you would every need to look at.
