The easiest way to mirror an object is to drop that object into a Symmetry Object. To fillet only one edge of a cube you’ll need to make that cube editable then use the Polygon Tool to select that one side only then fillet it. ---

To duplicate and mirror, use the negative scale trick. Duplicate your object, then scale it in what every axis you want by -1. That mirrors it. ---

Looks pretty good:) Some of the things on it don’t look solid enough to be on a tank though. Like the support for those mini-gun looking things, the cylinder is way to thin to support it. ---

You might want to experiment with textures. Apply a texture with a lil bit of a bump will add imperfections to the metal so that your tank doesn’t look too generic and will make it more realistic. ---

sonnyz how hard is it to make something like that? I just started learning Cinema 4D and I hope that I will be able to make something like that in the near future. ---
