Comming good.

I hope that the landing platform/garage don't rotate with the rest of 
the station. Otherwise, of the 4 craft it contains, only the purple one 
won't be ejected.
But then, if it don't rotate, the floors are useless as there is no 
effective gravity and everything will be free floating.

Those transparent domes have what function? Been on the outside, they 
should rotate with the bulk of the station, what /looks/ like a floor is 
realy a ceiling. They absolutely can't be used as greenhouses.
If the outer hull don't spin, then you can't grow plants there anyway: 
Plants need at least some gravity to properly grow and the mass of the 
station is not huge enough for that purpose. In zero G/micro-gravity, 
you can only grow unicellular algaes.

The floor of the living area seems to not reaching the end caps. Does 
that mean that the hull don't spin? I don't think that is't a good 
setup. To much risks of mechanical failure, also a source of undesirable 
heat, vibrations and noise, not to mention a waste of energy. Just the 
diferential rotation will create a LOT of noise from the relative wind, 
turbulence and edies...
