Schwerer Gustav (World War 2)

When building the interior of the gun, (the ammunition storage and shell/propellant elevator), I had no real sources to go off and no real idea what it looked like, so I just went with the flow and made it how I thought it would look like. Although it certainly isn't the best Gustav, It is still the work I am most proud of. I tried to make it look as 1:1 as possible but I'm certainly not the best.
Any feedback on how I can make future projects better would be much appreciated!
If you want to use the schematic, I would appreciate it if I was creditted.
