      Are all the units in the last picture the same construction?

      It's one group with loose geometry in it.

      ...but are any edges selectively creased etc?

      No. (You can download the model and play with it...)

        cotty, have you tried any in Sketchy Physics, etc...

        learn from the mistakes of others, you may not live long enough to make them all yourself...

            What is the best way to learn and what other tools should I acquire (also in previous post)?

            Learn by trying and failing and trying and succeeding.

            When you fail. Post a topic. When you succeed post a topic. πŸ‘

            All you need is QuadFace Tools, SUbD and Vertex Tools.

              and in addition to what rich said, i would strongly reccommend also split tools, autosmooth, curviloft, beziere surface, and extrude tools for quick quad-topology generation, not mandatory plugins, but stll very useful in this workflow.. also the stunning "flowify" supports quads, but maybe that's a bit advanced if you are absolute beginner in this modeling techniques..

                once you catch the basic trick, every plugin you are confortable with can be useful in the process..
                (still missing a quad version of jointpushpull or any other very needed proper quad-shell IMHO)

                here is point tools + voronoi + split tools + vertex tools + sub-d + beziere surface + flowify

                    looks clean modeling.. πŸ‘ Overtime, a good modelling habit will get us there. Sometime ago, I requested an offset that produces quads right away so that split tools wont be necessary..
