Curious to see them in-game with screenshots

Therefore I first need to learn how I can get from a 3D model to a fully functioning OpenRA unit.

Not sure if you tried this already, but you could export it as a 3DS file then upload it in 3DStoVXL then add it as a voxel

Hello Fernoe
This option sounds interesting (too). Where can I learn more about this "3DStoVXL" ?
