My second station is an engineering miracle.  Minifigs can pass
through the central corridor and look out the windows.  It is
freestanding and counterbalanced.  If you like any of the pics please
sign my guestbook.  I also included a pic of my First National Bank of
Chicago model.  The ships and vehicles are alternate models of a given
set.  I think they are better than the original model on the box.
Enjoy!

Not to nitpick too much, but I think you need to rotate your ring.  In a space
station, gravity is made by spinning.  This produces artificial gravity toward
the outside of the ring.  This would make the very outside the floor, but you
currently have windows there.  Each corridor should be rotated so that the top
is pointed toward the middle shaft.

See 2001: A Space Oddity for example.
