Keep practicing, I like this though it's got to be a bit bigger. Scale is difficult to get while making voxels - the way I'd solve this problem, is to take a voxel that's already made in about the size that I want to use, then "Clear entire section" and start from there.
If you haven't seen it yet, I made a video of me making a voxel SUV, maybe you can get a few techniques from it.. _________________ The Fall of Hammerfest - Epic Tiberian chain story

Dunno how this will blow over with all you guys, but I believe it should be a bit smaller. A ton of things are scaled horribly wrong in TS, with the infantry and civilians being the most noticeable.
I generally try to scale my vehicles to infantry that are half size. QUICK_EDIT
Scale. Doesn't. Work.
Even leaving aside issues of LOS and firing distances, there simply is no place for correct scale in TS or RA2.
You have to consider things within the tolerances of the game, such as that units are constrained to one cell. This is a problem for large voxels, which will overlap other units on adjoining cells.
On the other hand, diametrically opposite, is that voxels which are smaller have less detail. The smaller a voxel is, the less detail it will have. This makes scale a pointless thing to pursue, because half-voxels and quarter-voxels don't exist, and couldn't be displayed in game if they did.
Instead of chasing the impossible hope of scale, voxelists must try to strike a balance between good detail and good size. In general, higher tier units are larger than lower tier units, and civilian units are smaller than the units of the playable sides. (Good reference for this includes the civilian units of TS or RA2 compared to the starting units of either side - the civilian units are fairly consistently smaller than the side's units, irrespective of real world scale)
"In Real Life" arguments are not good starting points when considering the game.
The size of this voxel is good, imo. Although more colour contrast would definitely help (around the windows, wheel hubs, etc), just to define it more effectively. QUICK_EDIT
It was just an opinion, mate. I respect yours nonetheless.
But you have to admit it's crossing the line when infantry are taller than tanks. You know?
I realize these are just games, but a large part of games are how believable they are.
I understand your spoken drawbacks to scaling, and they DO make perfect sense. I just have different preference.
Back on-topic, the truck is scaled pretty well, I'll have to say. Had to look over it more. The detail is decent too. Good job. Simple and clean, I like. QUICK_EDIT
It is a bit of a line crossed when infantry are larger than tanks, but at the same time the infantry can become coloured blobs. As with everything, it is a tradeoff between size and detail.
But the size/detail looks pretty good to me. QUICK_EDIT

Cool looking tick tank. Though I think turret is bit too small, it looks nice on the mobile form, but it looks very small on the deployed tick tank. Truck, ambulance (?) and especially the bus all look good. The harvester looks nice but the back of it reminds me of a bee. I would change the back to a single color. _________________ QUICK_EDIT

hmm a decent set of voxels. They're a tad to the small side, and a bit plain, but that'll likely some with practice.
Don't be afraid to use the really light or really dark parts of the palette, to highlight certain areas on the voxel, it'll help bring out the shape
Well, the map IS yours, but yeah, the Voxels do remind me a lot of your early work, but it's not like I'm saying that as an insult, how knows? It could be a compliment.
Also, you can't OH NO HE DIDN'!! He who created OH NO HE DIDN'!!

Crim speaks the truth, I think my last "real" voxel was the TI Rail tank
Don't worry though, you might see some stuff soon _________________ The Fall of Hammerfest - Epic Tiberian chain story

Hmmm!?
I am not actually sure with the wheels, but the number of lights is correct.
Please take a look at my inspiration for these voxels!

My one piece of criticism is that your colors are a bit plain for me. Yes I know you followed those models (IIRC Dats made them?) but the models themselves look a bit plain texture-wise imo.
Gradients, Lines, or even slight camo would be what I recommend. QUICK_EDIT
