Hmm maybe get a good side view image use it as a image plane and use create polygon tool extrude to the desired width, for a start off basic shape. From there i dont know lol, im not even sure if what im saying is the best method, im quite the noob myself.

Hey Marlon

for the seat thing on the Mech/gun turret thing, I would start off with a cube, sat with 4x4x4 divisions and shape it to the desired then go from there, extruding and splitting, it looks a fairly simple object to do so it shouldment be too hard once you ge the basic shape down.
