Thanks Doc,
I don't think the part of from a turret, but as I bought it off a Spanish guy I'm not sure what the translation meant...It is to scale however and it will be a great centre console.
Here is the latest update:
I've got the main section sorted, all I need to do is put a second skin on the walls just to smooth out all of the glue lines. I'm most likely to fix decal panels onto the walls rather than paint them, that way they'll be more consistent with the other sets I've created. Plus decal panels will give me the ability to add details that would otherwise be impossible to create.
I've now run out of materials, so I'm off to the hobby shop later today. I've got to build the upper deck and the commanders podium.
With regard to camera angles, I've found that close up shots with blurred backgrounds look the most stunning and lifelike when converted to the web-comic format, so for the most part the set will be blurred in the background. There will also be wide shots showing the pilots and I'll use the upper deck for the Captain and his crew...Also, as you say, photoshop can work wonders.
Here's the latest images...
