If you want to increase your skills as a space builder, here’s my advice:
1. Stop building things that you know will get a shock value. A fighter with
a crucified Christ on the top? A spaceship in the shape of a swastika with
Hitler piloting? I have a hard time believing you weren’t trying for some
shock value there. Try building something that won’t bring the controversy.
2. Build to impress. Try to make every angle of your MOC look good - the
overhead, the underside, the 3/4 angle, the straight-on. Try to make every
stud on your ship have a detail or purpose.
3. Try your hand at colors and color combinations that seem different and
new. We have the typical subtheme combinations (white/blue, dkgrey/red, etc),
but not a lot of people are exploring dkred/dkpurple or dkgreen/dkblue, etc.
Pick something that looks good to you and work with it.
4. Ask what you want to know. When you posted the Space Nazis, you didn’t
ask for feedback. But more than that, ask specific questions. “How could I
make that landing gear better?” will get more responses than “What did you
think?” Many spacers are afraid to give honest opinion for fear of hurting
someone’s feeling - but if you ask specific questions, you are letting us
know that you want the honest feedback.
5. Take what we say seriously. I’ve known people who will ask for my opinion
and then tell me that I am wrong. Even if someone tells you to do something
that you don’t want to do (like get rid of a color, or a design feature,
etc), take their suggestion seriously and understand it.

I wholeheartedly agree. Especially point 5.
