@nonobar:
I have to wonder. When creating your large cannon, did you get inspiration from pictures of the Hoth Ion Cannon (picture below) from the movie The Empire Strikes back?
The two do look a little bit similar.
Modeling isn't just about how good the gluing or painting, etc. looks. It's also about how creative and imaginative you can be with a subject.
My modeling philosophy is: Don't build what everyone else has done. Build instead what nobody has seen or done before.

Got to admit I am curious.  Do the Reban's have to pay for the snacks in said snack machines?

Also, while the Captain is obviously an important Reban I imagine the most important Reban is the crewmember responsible for keeping the snack machines loaded and in proper working order.

No, not really. Actually, the look is inspired by the cut-away drawings of spaceships in the Perry Rhodan universe, which is the setting for the Rebans. An placeing a movable gun in a cupola is not so unfamiliar at all I would think,

Hmm, a good question, but I think they do not have to pay for it.
And I am not sure who is more important, the Reban loading the snack machines or the chef in the cafeteria preparing all the other food. I guess, the cafeteria is the most important place on board at all. :)
