Jim James' Babylon 5 Station
Jim James Babylon 5

I've finished my R-M "Babylon 5" Station kit at last.  Nearly the entire model is covered with  decals.  I scanned sections of the models decal sheet and reproduced pattern to make entire decal  sheets of panelling.  The most obvious area is the front section (R-M only supplies the checkboard  pattern and the cobra  bay decals). The mounting point is to the rear of the solar panels allowing  the hull to still rotate (oh, boy!).  This mounting method would allow motorization but, hey, I'm  not that mechanically  inclined.

The base is an air brushed wooden plate ($10, Michael's craft shop) and the Minbari cruiser is  AoG's metal model.  The entire display is designed to hang on the wall.
