Hi, Alejandro - nice texturing.

 

I think you may have a 'crease' - if you post a wireframe of the splines then we can check your splines are good. (Render to wireframe, not final in advanced render settings) (Or a screen print will work too)

 

Also, the bunker looks solid. When you look through the eye hole there doesn't appear to be any room for anyone inside.

Heres 2 Screen Capture Pictures I Took.What Type Of Position Camera Angles Do You Need?

I guess it makes sense if you don't need too much detail.

Heres Another Screen Capture. I'm Not Sure What Type Of Angles You Need.

Umm. There's a heck of a lot of splines in there. It must have been a bear to make smooth. Let me see if I can come up with something.

 

Just so you know for next time, if you have finished with this one.

Ok there's 2 hard things in here - the curve at the top, and the hole cut out of the cube.

 

This is my best shot, and it's not so good, I will admit to a crease at the top, and there are people out there that can do much better. But perhaps it will give you an indication of how few splines you need.

Here's a reference photo of a pillbox bunker that still sits on the beach from the Battle of Midway:

 

You can see that it was not a solid block of concrete. You might find it easier to construct the individual blocks and assemble it that way. There were also many styles of pillboxes, so you can do a Google image search (or search at Flickr) to find one you like.
