So just to confirm, you've rounded both the front and the back of the main cp piece and then that sits on top of the cp back piece (flush at the back). The cp back piece then attaches to the cp backing piece which is attached to the main body. And the plexi sits on top of the cp backing held in place by the extra height from the rounded cp back??

Yes! That is exactly correct.

Heh, I was wondering when you'd catch this ;D. Yes based on the movie, it has plenty that could be material for a game:
-Futuristic city as imagined in 1927!
-Evil robot inventor Rotwang who builds a robot with hopes of recreating his wife Hel.
-The "False Maria" robot spreading chaos in the underground city, inciting riots and mayhem.
-The heroine Maria trying to rescue people from a flooding city.
-The giant Heart Machine requiring constant 'hands on' to stop it from blowing it's stack.
-The hero Freder running around underground catacombs battling evil and trying to save the day.
Side scrolling 2D, all in glorious 8 bit, chunky sprites etc!
Could be my obsession in 2017 (assuming current stuff is complete).

Sounds like tweaking Sonic sprites from the Cyber City zone might work :)

Question... What's the best way to get the pieces squared up... Presumably I need an angle on a few of the pieces that fill gaps (and on the cp back piece since the top piece is at an angle...) - do I just sand these with a bit of guesswork??
JudgeRob:
Router an angle down the long edge to get it close. Fill any gaps and sand to perfection.
