I went by SharkD at the time. Hope that helps!

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?

The fuel tanks for the attitude thrusters are relatively small as they 
are relatively rarely used, and for only short times. They can logicaly 
be located inside the outer shell.

Get rid of the solar pannels? Why?
Solar energy is the ONLY resource that is not scarse up there. You want 
to get as much of it as possible. For that reason, I think that the 
solar pannels sould be at least 10 to 100 times larger.
Having extra energy allows for beter recycling of the air and water, 
improve food production and greatly helps producing the manufactured 
goods you need. It can also help with your trusters by using ion based 
thrusters or chimical thrusters fitted with some overheating device to 
greatly increase ejection speed, and thus, get more thrust from the same 
amount of propellant. Use smaller fuel storage, and make it last much, 
much longer.

Changed the way the panels are done, added some details.

Well,  I just thought both a reactor and solar panels were a bit redundant.
