This is a render of the GDI Watchtower (TW) I made. Anyone interested? (It is not unwrapped, I am not good at it)

Nice, the 1x1x2 box is a person, right?
Any chance of a wireframe ss?
Uvwunwrapping takes forever, i know, and you have to guess the size of each piece on the image-or do it twice over, once for the map shapes, then to rearrange and properly unwrap.
If you were going to skin it, use something like a 1024x1024 or 2048x2048, but otherwise use some gdi building textures properly aligned.
EDIT: make a worldbox that only stretches the main horizontal shaft, put ladder transitions ontop and bottom, and manually place invisible collidable objects in le around where the feet are and where the gun is mounted.

Very short, and stubby. The boxy supports are too boxy, add detail or polygons to make them less boxy. I like the base, don't know what that box at the front of it is. The platform is too boxy aswell. From memory i think the actual guard towers platform isn't a box. Cannon looks too low down aswell. It looks like if it tries to attack people within 5 meters from the base it'll destroy the rail.

There's something wrong with the rail too. Can't quite put my finger on it.

(If you found any of this offensive to your work i apologize, but that is criticism.)

Really if you do it right there is no guessing at all:

Yeah, I just noticed that if the turret swings, the rail will crack.

Thanks for the comments.

Oh, this was my reference picture and so was the one that sadukar put. Except that I have no idea why the box in front of the tower is different:

i mean if you makes the uvwwrap too large, and cant fit it on the tecture, you have to start again, and if you put everything too small, the model will look crap.

the railing posts need a few more polys with the smoothing, and the corners of the bocky base need another poly too.

This is a newer watchtower:
index.php?t=getfile&id=3664&private=0

I've made the support thinner and smoothed a the rail posts.

I think the turret looks nice, just something is bugging me about the stand... I dunno what though.. perhaps it is too fat? Goes too far back?

What if you made it a bit skinnier, also by looking at the reference image you showed, I think the top of the stand is skinnier than the bottom base of the stand. It gets smaller as it goes up.

Good point, I didn't notice that. I used to think that it was parallax.

Nice model. Only comment I have to make is that from the reference image I don't see that curvy stand you have on the bottom of yours, although perhaps it's just the angle of the image.
