Next time, you should try another technique to bend the fiberboard. Bending with steam doesn't work as supposed with fiberboard, because it weakens it. The reason is, fiberboard is packed wood fiber with a bunch of glue. That's why it wouldn't work on plywood either.
Bending with steam ONLY works as supposed on solid wood by moistening the wood fibers and soften them, but if they dry up again, they'll keep the strength.

So if you want to bend some fiberboard, the best way (IMHO) is to take two thinner sheets, and glue them together if they are in your desired shape.
Bending plywood is AFAIK not possible either, because it's too stiff. You would have to make a mold and glue layer by layer in place, containing the cross-pattern of plywood.

Nice Idea! I'm looking forward for the final Design! It looks a little bit small, what kind of board your going to install?

EDIT: First read carefully...

Interresting, Steam Punk looks a little different to most of the other Mods here.

Do you want to put some some cloth behind the Windows?

The net now looks not so good. What would it be painted with metal Insect mesh and the black?

The white cloth on the first picture looks good, looks like an old radio! But, like Pala said, the black Net in the middle -It simply dont looks good. Maybe a stripe of Messing would look better or a bit of the white cloth?

I think it would look the best if you change the black mesh with some (i think) 60ies brass metal with a punched pattern. That's apx. 0.8-1.0 mm thick.
Maybe even add some patina to the metal for realism
