A great Blender tutorial about hardsurface modeling and kitbashing with Blender 3D from the artist masterxeon1001.

When you follow the video you can learn a lot of modeling techniques especially:

Using complex mirror modifiers

Extruding details for hardsurface parts

Bevelling edges of 3d models in Blender
