Yeah is that not advised?

Flat blocks are a no-go. They just render horribly in-game. Pictures in karry's tutorial, in gen1 Model Feedback thread.

Ok, so if i was to make those blocks 1 block thick with one side transparent and texture on the other, it is still visible from both sides?

Well you tell me, look at the models made, or in-game. All blocks are at least 1 thick, so I think it's the way it works.
I know nothing about modelling, so I can't say much. But yeah, I think one side transparent is the way to go.

I'm weird, so don't take me too seriously, I'd feel bad for you.
Unless I say it, I never mean harm, it'd make me look bad if you think so.

Well here it is:

UPDATE: http://imgur.com/a/C8seC

ANOTHER UPDATE: Moved away from 0 width blocks and added noise to the single colour parts of the texture.

As you can see its very blocky, My main question is, if i was to make it HUGE in techne, is it possible for the scale to be manipulated to make it remoraid sized? or should i use the GIScale tools in techne?

Also this would allow me to do a proper texture, instead of this pixelated version.

Thanks in advance.

Probably what makes it look the best is the higher resolution texture, despite it being a small model. Somebody linked to a way to make a high res texture earlier in this thread.
