You've carried out this great size of project to this far.

I have to wonder. What is your total budget for this so far? It's a marvelous and highly detailed build and I can only imagine how much you had to spend on it. I have a hard time finessing my build budget even designing simple kits.

So far I'm at $1500 for supplies (cardboard, Bristol paper, glue and some greeblies I had to buy: combs to have the teeth for my tensing cables for example). I thought that I could, at the beginning, keep the cost under a $1000, but as you said, sometime the unexpected happens and your budget is blown out of the water...such is life
I actually like it better in black and white.
I'd like to see you design your own space station.
If money were no object--you'd really want concentric rings, and for the spokes to be curved.
The outer-most ring would be a two story affair--the uper story--Venus gravity--the lower/outermost ring--Earth.
Then a Mars ring--a Moon ring and a Ceres. The outer section of the hub--Vesta--and as you float/walk to the Zero G core along the spiral spoke ramp--you see images of ever smaller objects in the solar system--and the gravity of each.
A BEYOND Yorktown half-dome is over the whole ring--on the one side that faces Earth (to eliminate meteors). A flat section with solar panels, mini-domes and radiators on the space facing side

Beautiful! She's slowly coming to life!
