Wonderful. Do you plan on making a high-rez version of this with LOD? As
you learn more about modeling for FG you will be able to add lot's of
detail  and many features to this model. It's a good choice to learn on.

My best recommendation is to look at other models and get ideas about
what you could do. Take a look at the MPDTower in fgfsdb. You could use
the transparent texture technique from that model on yours. Pay
attention to the order of the objects, it's the key there. You could
also use Melchior's lighting script to add lights if this model was made
in Blender.

For LOD ideas, look at models with <range> animations in them. The
Pentagon, also in fgfsdb, is one of many models that uses LOD, and is
located a  few miles south of the tower.
