The good news is: This project is not dead. The bad news is: Progress is interrupted again and again. But over the past months I learned a lot about Blender and how to get the models work properly in source. Thanks to @grapen, @Terri and many others who helped me out with all the modeling and exporting issues I had. In the near future I'll try to focus better on making some fitting models to get this map to look like something. I've got ideas for at least some of the areas. But for now, here are screenshots of the CT Spawn in it's current state and some unfinished models.

It's true. UE4's bsp tool does feel unwieldy compared to hammer's but then again you don't have to live and die by the grid because of the fear of leaks. It can be too intimidating to think the grid as just a measuring/alignment tool rather than something that is whole foundation of the level. YES YOU DON'T HAVE TO ABSOLUTELY FOLLOW THE GRID AND THAT IS FINE AND YOU ARE NOT A NOOB FOR DOING SO depends what youre building tho.

WIP. Looks too much grey for me Ideas?

I agree, I don't even worry with UV's on my blockouts, I just use a worldspace shader that applies a checkered material to all of my faces, and I tint the vertical faces of another color, just to make the floor look a little bit diferent. This is very similar to what I use: https://forums.unrealengine.com/community/community-content-tools-and-tutorials/6142-auto-uv-color-material-for-block-outs-download-available

Finally ordered my favourite album on vinyl.
