I mean, upload the .obj file for checks and fixes. Say, would you like to make a whole set? But you'll need to follow the concepts closely, if you accept.

Yeah, I didn't put a lot of time into this one. About 5 minutes. Yeah, it'd be cool to do a set, but can you start me off easy. Here, I'll upload the .obj http://www.rogepost.com/n/9494183486

The edges look too sharp.

The handles and curves look very good.

Here's another concept I modeled. I was just browsing the CA forum, when I came across this one, by Elfane, which I thought was really good. Obj is at this site http://www.rogepost.com/n/6986126120
The concept is here http://img144.imageshack.us/my.php?image=outpostaddon2uh0.jpg

Looks really nice! Very good work! I think that that guard tower could be really good if you put in some more effort like making is less cubical.

Either the windows are too big, or the whole building (bunker + mirador) is too small; but it doesn't look right as it is right now.

The bunker has two floors, and you need vertical space between the top of the door and the bottom of the windows to show that.

Neat, the first one of my concepts modelled.

Some pointers though

Make the windows smaller, and rectangular, not square.

The base for the outpost should be, a bit bigger and the height should be lowered just a little bit. To make the whole building alot more bulkier, right now it looks a bit to thin.

Look at the sketch and you will see that the straight part between the top and lower part is rather thin. If you just make that smaller it would improve it. And extrude that part a bit, as in the concept.

And listen to Gez, he is correct.
