I like the refinery based building, the only thing ide suggest is try to make it all look more like one peice not so plates or added on together. One shape, kinda.

The ones on the first picture look a bit unrealistic, escpecially the one with Starport parts (The biggest one). It's just too big, and the fans on top don't look very well there. Try removing them or change them, and see if it becomes better.

The latest one is the only one I can say I like. The other ones don't quite fit in. Especially the one made of Starports

I agree. They look very pieced together and unrealistic, especially the ones in the first picture. The Refinery one, although it's better, still looks like it was made from the diferent pieces. Try blending it a bit and it'll be pretty good.

Thanks guys, i said i didnt like the starport, but i think the machine shop looks fine. The sci facil just needs some tweaking. Adding new supply depot now.

When I look at the picture as overall
You made a nice try even though there are awkwardness a bit
u looks getting better since when u show us the latter pictures
and considering u get going in the mid of begining to composite graphic
they are looks quite gloriously

There are several little black lines in the first one.

I took out the first three because they were horrible. Im going to try to get one more done before the dance tonight.

ok those are starting to look cool, but you need to blend them more together, as in make it look less like you copy pasted a bunch of parts together and more like they are one part. But it is looking good Im liking your style.

New one added, im getting better i think. What i did was assemble all terran buildings into one BMP so that i didnt need a million windows of paint open. I might upload it to the DLDB as i find its helpful and it took me a lil while to assemble it.

You're getting better, compared to your first ones.

Try to upload things as .png's so that you dont have some compression artifacts, anyway, the black lines i'm talking about are these:

What i didnt like about the terran buildings was how they were so innocent, they didnt look war ready. No defensive turrets, massive cannon batterys, it just wasnt there. It looked like we landed on mars tomorrow and welded sheet metal squares into random crap.
Thanks SubFocus, you do great GRP work yourself. Ill be updating this very soon.

I like the 3rd one of the new ones. That's good.

Im currently assembling some Protoss buildings. Zerg too. Its all a matter of assembling a BMP database. The problem is i have to write each grp into a bmp then move those BMPs into one. Its time consuming and school is beat. Ive been sacrificing alot of sleep to keep working late on new buildings.
Edit: First protoss building, dont hurt me i know its not great.
Edit: New terran

no, u looks getting better ever-advancing
infact, that technique is nothing the most important thing is a sence to
describe vividly
i think u have a nice sense for that
if u get compositing picture as well then try to make animations to give the live

I know im having a problem with the roof of that one, but i really love the rest of it.
ADDITION:
Updates:
Two more protoss added. Existing one smoothed/edited. Cyber core middle overlays the middle tower on it in game, so dont worry about how it looks in the pic.
Here:
I did alot of recoloring on the assim, took me awhile.
Re-doing some of the terran buildings now. Fixing roof on the latest, fixing lines on the earlier.
Animated Machine Shop. Cant get it into a moving format because im using paint. =/

Wow. Those look better than my Protoss biuldings 
Perhaps make something that's not symmetrical? You might feel this is un-important though, since some people think symmetry is the key to all

Actually Sub, i was worried about what people would say if it wasnt symmetrical. Ive wanted to give such a go, and ill see if i can finish one before school.
And Thanks.
ADDITION:
Updates:
First building totally re-done. I did alot of blending and im happy with it.
Im also experimenting with changing some of the purple to yellow and green to make the buildings have lights like parts of the science facility.
Also Added: Unsymmetricle small thingy. Dont know what for yet.
Also: The lighting im experimenting with looks better in game then it does on the pics.
