Well, after seeing the render of the Blender model at
http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?t=103776 I'm inspired to try
making one too... I'm thinking a lot of CSG and some heightfields should do it
for the most part, along with a few detail pieces modeled in Wings3d. I see
lots of greebling around the discs too, hmmm.

Looks like fun :)
