Spaceship help (panels and details)

BI0H0G

I working on a spaceship as practice for my modeling and i having some problems. so i need some critic on the models, here are some wip, the turrets are placeholder






so what do you guys think is best do i make the panels and details on the model or on the texture to make the normals and the Ambient occlusion

When i would do spaceships, i like to throw them in zbrush to quickly block out the design.

It helps making panels, because i could just extract or retopologize the panels out.

might be a way to go.
