The angles on this model by Daniel Stoeffler are so good! This piece of microscale architecture has such a satisfying balance of complexity and texture.
Last Paradise 1 by Rat Dude
Check out this detail-packed post-apocalyptic, rolling homestead by Rat Dude! I dig the detail on the containers and the hodge-podge mix of colors.
Naboo N-1 Grid Fighter.exe by x‿x

Triton Interception Starfighter by BobDeQuatre
It might have been a rushed build, but BobDeQuatre really nailed the color-blocking on this little fighter. I also really like the balance of curved and angular elements.

Turbinia Speeder Bike by David Roberts

I love this simple western scene by captainsmog. All of the details contribute to an atmosphere of gloom.
