So if anyone could give me a hand and tell me where to start or show me a guide ill appreciate it Thanks in advance!

oriol003,

Welcome!

Persuading Celestia to display your models can be somewhat confusing.

You might try reading the Web page
http://www.lepp.cornell.edu/~seb/celest ... intro.html

It tries to describe how Addons for Celestia should be organized. The second example shows how to display a model of a Nebula, although that isn't quite what you have in mind

There are quite a few Addons on the Celestia MotherLode which display spacecraft in Celestia. You might consider looking at how some of them are organized.
