Command & Conquer Red Alert History is a small mod that adds a few new units. The idea came about because I wondered what a few Red Alert units would look like and perform inside the Tiberium wars engine. I consider this mod a 'museum', wherein I add a few historical pieces that I like into the C&C3; engine! The Mod will be updated by adding a few units at a time (typically around 10 items). The mod is a mixture of mostly EA & public models, as well as a few original models done by me. Check the forums & articles for detailed information and for in-depth discussion.

Battle Lab tech structure.
*Release 8*
I hope it'll include the fancy little "flare-like" effect on its sides that occurs every so often, always loved that part of this variant of the Soviet Lab. ^^
That was a recycled animation taken from Tiberian Sun firestorm wall building. Someone just decided to randomly add it to one of the first restorations of this building.
It was never meant to be part of this buildings animations
Idea: Ministry plan of war technology
Looks great!
One question: did you model it yourself or you extracted it somehow from RA2?
Uhhh... You do realize RA2 structures are 3D render sprites not models,right?
As far as I know there's a very complex method for getting the actual 3d model of an RA2 unit / structure from the original files.
Design Bureau? Engineering Bureau? Labour Bureau? Beta lab seems more like administrative building than proper lab.
Also shame about industrial plant. I always liked that weird design but it really doesn't translate well in 3D where it just seems way more nonsensical.
How about 'Commissariat of Defense Industry'? Name inspired from the fact that the Ministry of Defense Industry was divided into four comissariats:
People's Commissariat of Aviation Industry, People's Commissariat of the Shipbuilding Industry, People's Commissariat of Arms and People's Commissariat of Munitions
Now these names are too long so I just opted for 'Comissariat of Defense Industry'.
OR This could be the Battle Lab and the current (RA1) Tech Center be a Ministry or a Comissariat, as it looks more like a government building compared to this.
People's Comissariat is an elegant name.
Construction Bureau? Or Design Bureau? or OKB.
In real world USSR they were busy with designing and often manufacturing a new tech.
You could simply go full Orwellian and call it: "The Ministry of Truth".
It would not be too far of the mark, as it is the logical end result of the philosophy depicted by the two intersected symbols on the bottom we all* (*well most, I hope, honestly, these days) know.
I know what you mean.
Ministry of Labour.
Communism was big on Labour and Worker movements.
Another option would be Propaganda Centre.
Some very good suggestions for me to consider, thanks!
Definitely agree with those who suggested this be the tech lab and the RA1 structure replacing the Industrial plant as a sort of Labor Bureau type structure.
