As you can see, I haven't posted here for a while.  Been busy with
animations.  Anyhooo, here's a B5 look alike that I think is pretty
cool.  I am very open to suggestions as to what to add, take away, and
alter. The total model size, including textures is about 13K.
Oh, and a (much) larger version is available at:

    Man! I am starting to hate you...

    Some parts of it look more plastic than metallic. Other than that, as I
said, I am starting to hate you.

Glad I'm not the only one... I have to make sure not to look at any of his 
stuff on my off days... makes me want to throw in the towel.

That link just generated a 404

I found that this works:

It's a very nice image.

But I think the metal is a little bit too shiny.

And it seems like there is a blue light shining 
only on the farthest part of the big "torus".
Strange.

A very nice image. Though the dark side of the ship seems to glow with a
blue hue. Your skill level is divine. You ought to write a book on your
techniqes. Ever thought of doing a few tutorials?

A little fatter than the original.  Are you going for an exact duplication?
Textures look pretty good but the detail seems to be lacking around those
forked bulkheads near the main port and the solar panels.  On the larger
resolution I come to wonder if the hanger section is attached to anything.
However, the best looking area has to be hanger.  A few oddities it seems to
be begging for are miscellaneous tubes/wires, hatches and other ports along
the hull, and most importantly...traffic!  A few droids along the hull or a
freighter entering the hanger would be definite improvements.

Wow.

So this is what Babylon 5 would have looked like if the imperial forces
(starwars) would have designed it? :-)
It just has a bit of a tie-fighter-esque feel to it, but looks pretty neat.

Yeah, it is fatter (and shorter) that the "real thing". No, I'm not going for
exact duplication.

Like I said, A work in progress.  There'll be more detail later.

Yeah, this is a definite "good thing".  I've been thinking of making a random
ship macro, where you stick in a number and out pops a ship.  Could take a bit
of work, though.

Have no idea why. This is very odd.

The light is there only to highlight the far surface of the station.  And
the really shiny metal is due to the rgb 1.5 main light source.
