SPT Semi Micro Sat - Flopped Set

This is still fairly early in one of the SPT Micro Sats. 11 runners so 2 seats and £3.20 for 3rd.
We've either lost 1 or 2 so far, either way, we're 4-handed. I think it's fine to just make up the SB pre this deep with 2 limpers in front.
I check with the intention of check-raising, assuming 1 of the 3 opponents is gonna bet. That goes to plan fine. It's the turn onwards really I want advice on (or earlier decisions if you feel I made mistakes).
Was I right to check to him and see if he bets out again? I guess he checks behind on the turn with a FD but now I've housed up, I should be able to stack most bad opponents if he checks the turn and hits the river.

So how would you play it... bet, bet, bet/shove?
I agree that you should lead the flop. There's no reason to believe that, in a limped pot, anyone is going to bet behind but they may call a bet with a draw or a pair. The check-raise looks strong but also looks a bit like you might have a flush draw, so I don't agree with Percival09 that it looks only like a set or big hand. I don't absolutely hate it but the size you've made it means that he would not be making a mistake to call with a flush draw and you're not charging him much if he's got a Queen. You don't want to make it cheap for him here, only for a heart to hit the turn and lead to you i) losing your customer who folds his Queen, ii) going behind to a flush iii) folding to a bluff...
On the turn it's a cardinal sin to check, in my opinion. You have the betting lead and you probably scared the life out of him by check-raising the flop. He called your flop raise so he'll probably call a bet here too. He's almost never betting here with any hand... unless he happens to have a 6 or a better house.
Lead the flop. After you've check-raised the flop, bet the turn.
you flopped a set... do a dance and get it in asap
bet turn
don't think c/r this flop is that bad in a limped pot, oppo obviously betting with some Q, 6, underpair. draw - maybe air
get some value by raising more on flop and betting turn
think c/r or lead pretty much narrows your range so don't think it makes any differance - your only hoping someone has something in a limped pot that you can extract from - just go for full value versus QJ type hands & draws
not betting turn is the mistake here imo
