You can see the position of the beds in the middle, torps, the loading/escape hatch and a few details such as the batteries (hence the hatches on the floor) and that sort of things.
For the smaller details I only had 2 low-res pics of a real type II so I used mostly pictures of the Finnish Vesikko found on google images and here : http://www.dutchsubmarines.com/pictu...es_vesikko.htm
The torpedo tubes mechanism are only roughly reproduced and the pipes & electric cables are a mix of guessing + finding solutions that didn't cause me too much headaches.
Overall it should look pretty with a the right lighting, we'll see :hmm:

an idea: if more precise and detailed pictures of a type II torpedo room are needed, why not sending members of subsim there? we should have some finish guys here, who could visit the museum you mentioned above and make some more precise pictures... Also for other 3d projects, it should be possible to send some guys to local museums all over the world for taking pictures. i could make tons of pictures of u995 in laboe, near kiel (VIIC boat), for example.
