Great image and design. I like the way you have created a circular docking ring. I see the planet has an atmosphere but looks barren of bereft of vegetation, and so far as I can see, has no water. Any back story here?

Thanks, I'm glad you like the picture.

I'm afraid the backstory to the planet is simply that planets are really, really hard to build. I think I have the atmosphere pretty much sorted, but creating a decent surface texture is still something I am struggling with. And clouds are monumentally difficult. Still, one day I may come up with a planet model I am happy with.

Nice station. A little rusty but that's why I like it.

Thanks. I don't like it when things look too pristine so I try to give my models that 'used' look.

Love it! It has that great sense of hustle and bustle I love in space port scenes (especially Trek).

Nice work, really like the crane arms as i think it's not something we get to see much of in trek.
