    Re: My Home made 737 Panels

    Hi John,

    yes, i have one of these but it's only 20 x 20 mm. The push button is 22 x 22 mm. I was thinking of something that fits over the push button and the hinging part is glued to the panel around the push button.
    Sadly I don't have access to a laser.

    Re: My Home made 737 Panels

    OK have not posted for a while (have a huge house remodeling project on my house and its taking all my time)

    here's my offering of my 6 packs...these do not have the recall push as, it seems, the model I am basing my sim on doesn't have recall.

    Re: My Home made 737 Panels

    very nice ... also been playing with those master/fire caution switches. i used red and amber/orange tint acrylic, engraved the text and then used acrylic paint to "paint fill" the engraved letters.

    Re: My Home made 737 Panels

    Oh the dreaded paint fill ...LOL I just cannot seem to get it neat I alway get in a **** of a mess!!!

    i engrave the back of clear and use paint fill but then sand the back to remove the mess I make leaving just the lettering..I then spray a couple of cellulose dust coats using standard car colours the front (ungraved) surface gives a nice gloss finish and the sanding just doesn't show.
    ( I use cellulose as this does not affect either the acrylic paint nor the perspex...however acrylic paint will react and 'pickle' cellulose)
