Could you take it outside and photograph in good daylight? I think you'd be able to show the details better (bit dim inside, and a flash might reflect too much)

I would have to agree with L here . . . I've seen truly remarkable photos taken with a webcam or ancient camera phone. It's mostly a matter of learning the tricks of the trade so to speak! Good lighting takes you photos about 80% i think . . . daylight is best but failing that you can get a bright lamp or a flashlight with a homemade diffuser (some great tutorials on this site for just that!) the rest is good framing, a steady hand (or tripod) and some image post processing. Interesting idea though! love that you did this whole thing with spare hard drive bits (especially the fact that you used the HD casing for the shell!
