Immense Class Starbase - Retrofit!

Hi,

Anybody who's been here (Not actually here but at Scifi-Art's forums) during their "golden age" when this site and forums weren't even planned, will probably also remember this piece of ancient model.

The Immense Class Starbase - My first experiment in modeling something worthy of publishing out for downloading.

The model itself made quite an impression at the time and got me a place at Scifi-Art moderators team but then the site got closed and all of the planes for this model with it.

Anyway, that was 7 years ago and the model itself got quite lousy as technology and my modeling skills evolved.
Now in celebration of the time past and because of the fact I have some free time, now that I've finished the Mek'hlar Class Destroyer, I decided to retrofit this baby with all the arsenal of new modeling techniques I have aquiered in these past 7 years.

Attached are two pictures:
The first is an original rendering of the original model.
The second is the original model in Clay form.

You can notice by these that what really turned this model into a success is not the model itself but the texture overlay and lighting (made with the personal assistance of Tachy).

Before I get to work I would like to hear some ideas of what do you think I should do with it and where to put the major changes.
Thanks.
