Babylon 2 Station Imagined Babylon 5

thingiverse

Babylon 2 was never shown in the Babylon 5 TV Series or Movies. Therefore I took it upon myself to make a 3D model of what I imagined it looking like from Fan art and show historical mentions and experimental Engineering concepts. Babylon 1 historically fell under the idea of Sabotage or Design Failure. Therefore, thinking like an Engineer and concentrating on possible Design flaw, the rotating outer shell would be used as a superstructure / exoskeleton placing the center axis as a internal, and semi external support. It's unknown if the idea of oppositional rotating sections were considered at this point, however the possibility thru design is there. Oppositional rotation in a gravity free vacuum allows for better stability for a moving object thats traveling, such as Babylon 4. Well that's the Design and Physics down anyway. B2 was never referred to other than its end came from possibly the same 3 outcomes, Design Fault and failure, internal sabotage or even an attacking Ship, possibly the Minbari Tragati, which attempts to launch a new Earth Minbari War after Captain Sheridan takes over on Babylon 5 after replacing commander Sinclair. So historically thinking, B2 probably didn't have oppositional rotation, as B4 did for open space travel ("to maneuver away from attacking Warships"?) So there's my rant on the whys and hows. B4 btw wasn't destroyed, just stolen for the previous Shadow War, so there's physics and merit here thru design. With this in mind, B4 and B5 parts were used to produce this remixed model. That also makes sense as parts were used from previous stations to build these in a hurry. So what do you get? A full Complete 3D model to use as an instruction guide or to slice or remix as your own, a sliced STL file, I printed and validated on the first round, pictures, a Stand for the model and an improved painting Stencil.As far as I am concerned I have no legal rights to these models as they are a combination of other models, so this is to me, is an open source remix.
