OK so what do you think I took most of the guess work from here:

Please tell me if this is better than my first try. [img]http://www.firstones.com/forums/biggrin.gif[/img]
Also how do I get the images in the post?

they're not solar panels!!!
they're heat dissipation arrays!!! [img]http://www.firstones.com/forums/biggrin.gif[/img]
anyways, It was my assumption that this was basically a "cut in half-type view of the station. From what i've heard, the station had four-way radial symetry. INfact, i'll check right now [img]http://www.firstones.com/forums/smile.gif[/img]
ok, checked. that diagram is nearly perfect, except for a few things.
1. the shape of the middle section is not too accurate. It was more or less continuous, but in three sections. not the gap between them, but I am not sure because it was still under construction (although the reflection during the explosion was pretty good at helping out)
the fact is, this station is a combination of the babylon 5 and babylon 4 stations. the parts were available, so why not use them, right? [img]http://www.firstones.com/forums/smile.gif[/img]
and eternety, your model seems more accurate than the diagram does. It seems to fill in the problem I explained [img]http://www.firstones.com/forums/smile.gif[/img]
there are some points on the diagram that are very correct, though. the whole back section, after the last center rotating section, is accurate. the grid is where there are glowing lights, yellow lights.
ok, i'll try to vidcap.
Ihave a series of vidcaps saved and all.
they are all bitmap images, but, If you want the whole lot, either get the RAR (best compression), or the zip (most common compression)

files compressed in the zip format (1.84 mb)

files compressed in the rar format (1.77 mb)
enjoy!!!

If that's supposed to be Babylon 1...as long as you realize it's supposed to be red, not green, and there will be more polygons in the final version, it's starting to look good, yes.

I recomend you leave off the Heat Dissipation Vanes until you can get more information on it. I know, though, that they are often near the reactor, and in this case, they whould be more to the rear, and the two reactors
but I cannot be more correct than you unless we have better info...
the babylon 1 station was created from pre-existing parts of the babylon 4 and 5 stations. what you might want to try to do sometime is experiment...
see how many ways you can mix-n-match, and use the closest as a basis for the station [img]http://www.firstones.com/forums/smile.gif[/img]
another thing is that your station looks rather small. this station was MASSIVE!
Your Heat dissipation Vanes make it look tiny, smaller than b5.
You shoudl ttry shrinking some of the components...
anyways, try using my vidcaps as a reference. they're some of the best you can find [img]http://www.firstones.com/forums/smile.gif[/img]
I will 2/3 scale the heat thingies & from the shors that I got from B5mg (on my site, the station page) It looks loke that the Babylon Station has AT LEAST 3 reactors, I put in 4 for simarilar..er.. you know mirring down the center line [img]http://www.firstones.com/forums/biggrin.gif[/img]
As for the rest I will see what I can do But I will really need accurate blueprints so if JMS can supply? or not?
Anyway I will do the best that I can with what I got!
