1.For size just open a Voxel from the game to see what size you could best use.
2.Draw some concepts or find pics.
3.Begin with Top-Down view, then make the basic shape.
4.Start doing the upperlayers for top-down view, because then the layers under it are better visible then.
5.after you have the basic model begin smoothing it until it's the way you want.
6.And at last give it some textures.

Hope that helps you on the way, don't worry we all started as noobs. Smile

and one thing; if you're making a tank, start from tracks and select the "right" view.

i always start in the middle, the top of the chassis (what you see from above when the turret is removed)

normally i start in the middle of the voxel and use the sideview to generate the basic shape of my voxel...then nudging and mirroring to get the width i need...then i remove the voxels i don´t need...
for tanks do the tracks first
and just keep on voxelin...skill comes after a time of learning
