So in issue 16 there's a nifty "design memo" .
Seeing as how one of my hobbies is to waste massive amounts of time doing 3d modelling that will never see the light of day (usually for good reason: I kinda suck) I figured that I would take some time in SketchUp to do a rough draft of it; maybe go into detail later on.
Measurements at a glance: an oblong hexagon with the broad x-axis measuring 5km on the interior, that gave me a rough y-axis of 36km and a guestimated z-axis of 3km on the narrow angle. The exterior hull seems to be somewhere around 800 meters.
It's divided up into roughly 9km of "underground levels", 15km of residential open-air space divided into three tiers, and 6km of water storage/aquaculture (this works out to over 6,300,000 cubic kilometers of water, meaning 1664283927600000 gallons. anyone else thirsty?).
At any rate, I'm going to work on the 3D model for a bit longer, then I'll post some images. I can probably find a way to share the model at some point, if anyone is interested.
