Nasa has a Canadarm model on its 3d resources gallery

http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/3d_resources/assets/Canadarm.html

Not sure how useful that is, the preview image
doesn't look too spectacular.

I was hoping more for a prototypical rotoarm - maybe something like you'd find
on a desktop or small manufactury.

Added a robotic arm, a scale showing the units of dimension, and adjusted the
size of some of the ships.

Made some modifications that I think better accentuate the station's scale. The
station is a bit longer, and there are horizontal gaps between the station
sections. I think the effect of the gaps is the same as stripes on a shirt: it
makes the object appear longer and thinner.

Exterior view. Not very exciting.

The attitude control system lacks thrusters tangential to the cylinder, 
to stabilize the station with regard to axial rotation.

Yeah. Not sure where to put the fuel tanks for the thrusters then though.

Also, I want to add a reactor for the lamp lighting the station. What 
should it look like, and should I get rid of the solar panels?
