I can't help but notice that loadModel is not a static member 
function, yet you don't seem to call it with a Model object in 
your "get" function.

Also have a look at std.typecons.RefCounted if you want 
reference counted data..

loadModel is not a method, it is a function. Being a function 
it doesn't have a 'this' so doesn't need to be called with an 
object.
Also, i tried using std.typecons.RefCounted but i didn't like 
the lack of control i had over it ( refCount is private and 
only has a getter method ).

I have found the problem and i still don't understand why i was a 
problem :
struct Model
{
        TextureType[] textures;

        this(TextureType[] textures...) {
                this.textures = textures[];
        }
}

In the constructor, i copied the textures to the model's inner 
texture array, and for some reason this caused the problem.
So i needed to change to something like :

this.textures.length = textures.length;
foreach(i; 0..textures.length) {
        this.textures[i] = textures[i];
}
