Isn't that basically what func_detail does?
And yes, I was looking at the old gothic DooM maps that would crash my computer back in the day, and they are amazingly detailed, all with the basic brushes doom provides, so I got a little inspired.

A whole map done up with that is going to most likely hit either the brush limit or the tjunct limit, depending on how you go about it. The really repetitive pieces (like the supports on the railing) would be a really prime candidate for converting to a model.
Or learn propper!

I thought slow motion car crashes are supposed to be cool. Junction's gameplay is not cool...
It'd be better to learn a real 3D modeling program, so as not to be stuck with things like cylindrical columns whose corners all conform to the 1HU grid or so. Not to mention that real modeling apps let you customize how the polys are broken up so you can optimize for the best-looking vertex lighting.
It's been a long ass time since I've had anything to show here. Even longer since I've had anything good to show here. This post at least addresses the former.

What one would you recommend, that has a good online tutorialbase?
I'd say Blender, but I couldn't figure it out even with tutorials because I'm dumb

I'm a big fan of Maya personally, Blender is a nice open source program though.
Well I'm currently working on first "real" map.
I am essentially translating League of Legends Crystal Scar map into a TF2 CP map.
Here is a break down of how it will look (I know crappy drawing, but it will have to do):
For reference here is what the Crystal Scar looks like:
A few challenges I'm dealing with (probably nothing to a vetran, but for me it's a bit hard) are the fact that the map is very circular, translating certain aspects of a MOBA to a FPS will be awakward, but not impossible.
Finally here is the very very very early version of the map:
I'm currently on break, and start back up school in a week so I'll see what I can get done. After I start my classes I'll work on it more additions will be even smaller, but such is life. Hopefully one day this will be completed.

A little bit of both. Initially I was planning on translating it directly, but I knew that it'd be relatively boring this way, and I'm not entirely sure if I am legally able to use Riot's textures.
I do plan on making this TF2 themed, and adding some height variety. However, as I am working on this I find that working with curves (circular stuff basically is what I mean) is proving to be somewhat more challenging than I expected. I'm thinking about putting this project on hold for now.
The other issue with this map is that one of the core objectives can't be translated as far as I know. Basically in The Crystal Scar whomever holds the most points drains the other teams energy, and whoever runs out of energy first wins. To translate this into TF2 it'd have to be a breed between KOTH, and CP. I'm not sure if that is possible without creating a new game mode, or if it has been done before.
