What is the DS9 we have currently scaled to and how will this one be scaled

Man, this station is the most beatiful station ever built for ST and this model definitely do the justice to it

Nice

That's the problem I'm having, scaling it properly.

Will you be adding the Torpedo and Phaser strips which Starfleet added?

Very good, you're right. The outer Docking ring is level with the other rings in this rendition.
It's supposed to be below the the habitat ring's elevation. Considerably lower. That of course means that the pylons attaching the rings together slant down to the Docking Ring.

I got the DS9 Technical manual this morning and I can now see exactly what you mean by this. There is a big side view/partial cutaway at the back of the book where you can see the difference in the placement of the habitat ring and the docking ring. The slope between the 2 rings is clearly visible in the image as well.
If you go to this page http://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/scans/cardassians1.htm and scroll down to the DS9 schematics there is a decent side view one which shows this as well.
As far as I can tell now that is the only main difference between the show model and your mesh Baz. The newly revised docking ring looks great.

I didn't know either, it's only because Saquist pointed it out that I actually checked. The best pic I can find of the actual studio model that shows this is on this page http://www.starshipmodeler.com/trek/ds9tech.htm
It's 'Image 6: Closer look' under the DS9 pics. I would direct link to the pic but I don't want to hotlink to it direct.

Rings ammended and main docking ports added.

Fantastic Baz. I knew it'd get sorted out.

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #3675 on:** January 23, 2012, 07:38:18 PM »

Ok I calling the modeling phase over. Final poly count 51K

Runabout ports are in but still have to figure the MVAM out later.

007bashir · « **Reply #3678 on:** January 24, 2012, 09:05:44 AM »

dont no why, but the ops looks a bit empty, despite the small antenneas

sovereign001 · « **Reply #3679 on:** January 24, 2012, 09:08:20 AM »

Some details are missing

btw baz: another guy that is making a ds9 station, its "only" 4,5 million polies heavy and the docking pylons aren't fit yet XD.
