And if anybody needs asteroids for a space diorama, you can always turn "trash" into asteroids.  ;D
Seriously, who's the idiot that thought up this for a model kit?  :o
Modeling isn't just about how good the gluing or painting, etc. looks. It's also about how creative and imaginative you can be with a subject.
My modeling philosophy is: Don't build what everyone else has done. Build instead what nobody has seen or done before.

I wonder if the old donut shaped space station idea is still valid? There would have to be a counter rotating "axle" in the middle to hold the solar cells in place directed towards the sun.

Not if the solar array is on the top/bottom and the axis directed towards the Sun. 
So I got that going for me...which is nice....

Maybe solar panels all the way around the perimeter so there are always some pointed at the sun as it rotates to generate artificial gravity.
