Description
The Spacedock Class Starbase is a TMP era design seen in the various Star Trek movies.My Black Orchid Class ship is there for scale.
I should have learned my lesson on large Starbases, even in my capitol scale when I did the TOS version; [link]
As far as scale is concerned, in ST: II the Enterprise just clears the doors, in ST: III the Excelsior just clears the doors, and in the TNG era the Enterprise D just clears the doors. So I made a rough guess.

Wow, that space station is huge, very nice.
And speaking of space shipyeards, what you think of this, is a section of the Olympus Space Dock, I take the idea from lunar ring space station from Starship Troopers, here is the link:

dang! serious as a heart attack, I made something kinda similar to this a few days ago. (it needs detail work before I post it)
Mine was based on a chair glide plug that fell out of the chair.

Maybe that's where the designers came up with the idea.

Supposedly that's where a lot of artist's designs comes from. Random, out of place, everyday objects.
My favorite item I first associated this was a Model I did when I was young, The Leif Ericson. Which, if you take off the wings and nose cap and stand it upright, is a liquor bottle.

Also looks like plastic "plug" you put in walls to hold screws in place. Looks neat, though.

Yup!
well, then there are special effects... It took me a couple of years but then I figured out what the Romulan plasma attack from TOS was.... a smoker's smoke ring.

And don't forget the Empire State Building in NYC.
It was based solely on the ever humble pencil.

Is this something you heard??

Sweet.
Could ya try (if your up to it) to make my Station Omni 1 [link] ?
It could be in multiple posts for all the angles.
Just remember she can accommodate Galaxy Class ships.

Thanks for the vote of confidence...But being a TNG era scale (about 2 to 3 times the size of the TMP era one), the center of the base, alone, would be way to big for me to do...That an I don't do 24th century, as a rule.
It's a kewl design. I'm sorry for not being of any help. But feel free to kit-bash mine.

Well you don't have to put a Galaxy Class init if you don't want to and besides I don't have the unnecessary parts to fully do her justice.
Also if you feel like not doing the other views That is totally fine. I was really hoping to see her in color.
