Very good work. Personally I would not worry about baffles if you are going to paint the inside a really dark/pitch black as this will be a form of flocking and will stop the ambient/off axis light from interferring with your images. When I "flocked" my tube with paint I gave it an initial coat of the stone finish paint that is lumpy to break up the surface then gave that a few coats of dead black flat paint (chalkboard paint).

Another reason to avoid baffles is that they can introduce air currents into your light path.
