What you call "shitty 3D modelling skills" I call one of the best made models I've seen on this site. This is exactly the kind of oldschool 3D I love so much. Surprised this didn't get more attention.
Lol what a controversial post, let me just say I welcome @MedicineStorm's resolution, I agree that banning simple symbols as such would be pretty dumb, we might as well ban all weapons on this website because they're related to killing. A whole collection of fictional evil flags/logos would be a nice post to make perhaps.
The look is superior in my opinion, 3D rendering will never be as good as reality, it's like comparing CGI to real life footage, CGI doesn't give better results, only achieves results in faster and easier ways, I will always prefer the analog look to a perfectly sterile render :D What I appreciate even more though is the accessibility (freedom) of this method too. You can do this just with a camera, no need for highly complex 3D programs and computers with complicated GPUs. Doom too used this method after all, it was just so much easier to make the monsters out of clay. People nowadays take all the GPUs and programs such as Blender for granted, but for someone who makes games the old way and/or using simpler and older computers this can really be a thing of interest. SInce you made your own console you probably know what I'm talking about :)
Fair, please keep in mind I am NOT trying to get this removed,I can decide myself if I'll reuse this or not (I wouldn't risk it personally), others can do the same, I just wanted to point out it may be risky, but nowadays everything is risky to some degree and what kind of risk is tolerated on this site is not up to me, so there is no hostility, the work is very nice. It's true this is a very gray area, I've done some quick googling and e.g. from https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/132962/can-i-use-models-of-r... and https://old.reddit.com/r/COPYRIGHT/comments/evt81s/do_car_designs_have_c... I think it's safe to say this much: car design CAN be copyrighted (but it's not clear where the line is drawn, there is a combinarion of utilitarian design and artistic expression) and it is considered risky to use exact existing designs (so games like GTA still alter the design, even though the inspiration is very clear). Note that even if the toys aren't exact copies of existing cars, still the toy manufacturer would hold the copyright on their design of the toys, so it doesn't matter if the toys are copies of existing cars or not -- if it's copyrightable, someone holds the copyright. I just think it's important people know this, so perhaps it's fine to keep this post with these comments attached, anyone can now make own decision. In any case thank you for sharing your work, it really is beautiful and highlights a very nice technique, I hope more people will make something like this.
So awesome, I would love to see something in the style of Advance Wars made by you :)

This is awesome, looks kind of like Runescape :D Thank you very much. Rigged and animated models are very valuable.
Oh I love this so much, but did the original creator release it under CC0 on the forums?

Beautiful, thank you for sharing :-)
Looks beautiful, is it hand painted? Doesn't look like AI.
Very nice, thank you especially for providing wireframe preview and actually making a decent topology :)
