Something New:
I'm trying something new on the Volcano Cannon housing.
We'll see if I can bring it off....
This first image after much trial shows the peaked housing of the cannon and the truncated upper works of the roof.
Next the sides....
Finally the installation of the reinforcing strips that will allow the curved roof corner joints some stability.

A Rainy Day:
I'm beginning to think I could effect a cure for a rainy day. This roof has exceeded my expectations and now I am wishing I took more pains with the preliminaries.
Aside from some excess amounts of glue that partially dissolved the surface (which I can rationalize as; "battle damage") the curved roof panels will be sufficient for my purposes.
Here is seen how the panels are held in place whilst the glue is drying.
This building will be the first that receives the finishing details.

That roof looks great!! It's ashame it covers all of the hard work inside, but this will be one Hell of a , I don't know, model doesn't seem to fit. Work of art? 
@zathros Yes, a work of art! If they ever make a WH40K movie then @Blackadder is the man to hire for models!
The work inside is a series of mistakes due to not having enough visual information as to the size and shape of the structure. Had I had it to do over the interior would have been a simple rectangular box.That roof looks great!!

The mistake may turn out to be a blessing in disguise as it give me attach points for the main cannon trunnions points.
Thanks for the quick replies.

You've also made a very stron model, which if you did a stop/go animation sequence would be outstanding!!
Wow, thanks for all the replies.
Central Dome:
The Central Dome will occupy the middle of the superstructure in this model seen here in a top view image
And in the rough placement on the upper deck:
Now I need to find the Aquila template from my old Warlord work????
