:p I'm pleased to show you all my progress up to now.

Please keep in mind that before I started driving transport trucks( I think there called Laurie in UK) I was a Chef for 18 years. Man have I got a set for knives to kill for. That said, tools for the house consisted of a screw driver.

So, I had to buy $2000.00 worth of tools just to start my project. Plus I had to learn how to use these tools. Man I can carve you an ice carving in no time, but cutting stuff like MDF and plexi this a router??OMG. That thing goe's where it wants. :roll:

Anyways. Thanks you to all of you for letting me copy and past you wonderful work.

The funny thing is I was making panels like the du and I don't know what that actuly do:roll:

:p Hi! Bob.

I made them with plexi 3mm and 1mm with a regular panel print and totaly black print behind it.

So it's
1mm plexi
regular du print mat finish
black du print
3mm plexi
and used a marker to color all around to stop light from going out from the sides.

All the credit goe's to this extremly talented dude.http://users.skynet.be/jcordon/cockpit/tutorpanels.htm
