 Well, when I built the new cube for Voyager I based everything off
image maps and then modeled around them. To make it real simple I had an
underlying cube that was mapped with an image. I then took the main
image that I had created into modeler and started building on it.
Basically it was large areas of chunkiness raised above the inner cube
with many of the detailed areas of the map modeled on these areas. I
also interconnected the pieces with tubes and added edge pieces to make
it look more dimensional and 3d on the edges.

Good luck,
