[MOC] Coriolis Starport - Elite: Dangerous

[CrashHelmets]

This is my Coriolis Starport from sci-fi video game Elite:Dangerous. 1700 parts, 17cm diameter.

Coriolis Starports are rotating space stations that orbit planets. They are 2km diameter, and feature a massive pressurised hangar, with a large force-field protected slot, for ships to enter.

The overall shape is a cuboctahedron. This is what they look like in the game.

Its unfortunate the sci fi section isn't as popular as the Star Wars one, because this definitely deserves more attention! Your creation seems to resemble the real thing well; a massive block with a large amount of greebling and details. Great work.

Hey man. Do you have instructions? Id love to try and build this.

As an avid Elite player myself, gotta say this looks fantastic! Love how you did the mail-slot!
