Anddd i actually ended up making a second version!
While the texturing isn't up to standard, this piece was an art study where i merged up some key characteristics of a couple of styles to try and get something new.

A modular prop made for game sci-fi enviroments; both first and secondary valve can rotate, just like the gear on the pedestal.
Tank can be separated and treated as its own prop.
A single material is used.
2K textures, fbx

it was a lot of fun, truly, i should do more of this, and even if it's old, i find it fairly valid still;
Maybe the wood texture could have been better, and more damage and dust should have been added, but i'm still quite happy about it, oddly!

This one was meant to let me experiment some with optimization for game objects; it's not perfect and in hindsight i could have halved the polycount of the support pedestal without visible issues, but the topside is fairly valid for the polys it has.

Prop meant for a canteen/industrial setting: comfortable enough for a quick stay but not a long one, easy to get in and out of, quick to clean and impermeable.
Steel supports make it quite sturdy.

A spherical and disposable fusion reactor enclosed in a containment shell, magnetically locked in place at the center of a larger one.

It is roughly the size of a dice, though i wouldn't recommend throwing it.

I cannot explain properly, but it really hurts on a psychic level to see all of the flaws of something you've made a while ago, when you still thought they were fine, popping out to haunt you like some sort of distorted fantasy construct.

Aaahh, this one.
The idea was to have an alternative light source that could shine for long times, only requiring a quick recharge from any mage character.

You can also see that i made some progress in rendering, i'm really giving the whole process its time to experiment and document myself a lil' on how other artists do it; it has given fruit so far, i'd say :D

I recall implementing a couple of new texturing techniques in here, as can probably be noticed in how the light reflects on the main body
