This may seem a bit off-topic, but what is the best method of powering
the traversal of the turret? It will probably be on wheels or
bearings, but what kind of motors and how should it be mobilized?

Ahh - signal.
I was worried about that so I configured my turret to be "servo-less".
I have my servos mounted in the trunk ... and run the power for the
door lock and elevate motor to there for switching operations.

Using that method can cause noise and therefore may interfere with

How about using wheel bearings? I am working on my M3 Stuart (still)
and will be using them for my wiring going into the turret.
Jam a plastic tube up thru the center of the bearing to force
contact
between a lead and the inner ring then use a band clamp to hold its
opposing lead to the outside.
You can stack multiple rings, because the plastic tube that goes
thru
the middle of them is non conductive - just space each bearing out
enough to prevent contact.
