I thought I would post up some still shots of the 3D model I made of the Battle School from my Ender's Gamemovie trailer. I created the model in Google Sketchup and it is based on designs outlined by my friend Steve Sywak in the Authorized Ender Companion . The textures for the Battle School come from an awesome artist Dawid Michalcyzk It is still a work in progress...
You might be asking yourself how big this thing would be in real life. I could post dimensions but nothing says it better than a picture. That's the Battle School floating above the U.S. Capital in Google Earth

Did you know that there was an Endercon in 2002? Yes, an actual convention celebrating the 25th anniversary of the release of the short story that Orson Scott Card would expand into Ender's Game. I created the logo for the convention that was used on T-shirts and other items. That was also where the Battle School Army Logo T-shirts were sold as well. I will dig up pictures and post them later. In the mean time, if you still need Orson Scott Card sanctioned Ender gear, visit the Hatrack Store on Cafe Press here:http://www.cafepress.com/hatrackriver
