Hello, it's been a while now but I got back to modelling again. I was focused at school stuff so I just got back right now.
I started modelling again just two days ago and I was able to create both of these.

The Iron Curtain was the first one and I was weirded out by how good it looked.
Since it's been so long since I last tried to model I thought I would have gotten worse,
but no, it seemed I became better! The break from modelling might've made me want to go further more in detailing.
Though that is weird since I believed that trying to model always or at least if there is time to model would helped in improving modelling skills,
but I think that made loose better judgement in my models because I was always exhausted and thought all of my models looked great.

The Chronosphere by comparison looked awful and it tooked getting a better material to make it look good.
The design wasn't as good as the Iron Curtain so I kept adding more details until I learned it was the material that was the actual problem.
But still, unlike the Iron Curtain, it wasn't fully redesigned which was what I wanted.
But this is a good start I guess since I liked the Soviet style first and I have to first learn to follow the curvy/round design of the Allies.

Right now I'm a bit confused about my skills. Looking at my old models makes me wonder about these two models.
Looking back at the things I posted then, with the pictures since I wanted to post always with either a picture or a gif,
made me feel disappointed with the designs.

It makes me wonder if my designs right now looked good since all the pics I've posted here were something I was proud of.
Again, when I looked back at them, the old models, they look very barren, very disappointing,
and I wonder if I still lack details in these new models as well.

I was also PM'd a while ago about me and my issue with lighting on Blender and was told to go to Blender Forge discord.
I haven't gotten there yet but I'll try and check soon.

Lastly, I've added somewhat of a border in the pics. Like how I wanted to post with pics or gifs,
I also wanted to add some sort of border for my pic/gif. These efforts were to learn AND improve my way of posting.
Of course, If I want to post things anywhere else I wanted to be able to make it look good.
This place has been where I wanted to practice.

By comparison, in Discord, my contents isn't usually seen outside of it which is why I prefer to post stuff here.
I do know about the Mod Haven discord, but still went and post here.
I liked BySc and even SaltedOld's posts here about their 3D models. I wanted to see them improve till it looked amazing!
Sadly, they stop posting here and I couldn't see how much they've improved in their models.

I wanted to keep everything I did here and continue on from me beginning to model and
how I handled people reacting to my stuff until the future where I don't know yet if I would become better.
Moreso, that new people can see that they could improve.

I'll try to post stuff here in Media Hut once per week since I might have gotten a hang on the coding stuff.
Plus I like the stuff TaranDahl is working on in the Pull Request for Phobos, so I could just wait and test the new stuff rather than asking "how to do this and that".

I know this is a long post which might look alarming looking at it but I just wanted to update on how I would be posting stuff.
My next posts should be more focused and improved compared to this one. Very Happy

The look very good. Maybe the WCD and nuke could also use a remake.

Thanks! But these ones are a little bigger. 5x5 for Iron Curtain and 4x7 for Chronosphere.
They were mostly made to show off what I could do after coming back to modelling.

If they were shrunk down, they would look really small. Especially next to their original versions.
But I'll try to create WCD and Nuke. Seems like a good idea to try and practice. Very Happy

But here are some of my old stuff from practicing. They were MadHQ's.
They use the old lighting, so they might look different in the future:
