Was just concerned that this cab, as you have posted so far, will be more difficult to build than the majority of people on these boards can handle. Do you plan on building one first before releasing the instruction set? If you do, don't take 3 years to build it because I'm anxious to start one! :lol

No worries mate, I still take on board what you've said, lets revisit that once I start working through the construction steps. I made build a little card model but no, I want to get plans up on here asap. I'm excited about the artwork possibilities for the theme. I will be looking for feedback on that from people as that evolves in a collaborative way.

I reckon this is going to be one SWEET cab design, once a fully concepted (including artwork) model goes up here I'm tipping interest levels will increase.

Brian74:
I'm still thinking dragons.. Only because I have no idea what your talking about for the theme. :banghead:

Unstupid:
The theme is "metropolis", that's Superman's home so I'm thinking:

:D

yotsuya:
Infidels.

That's a great link, thanks yotsuya! For those who still are wondering, I intend to take the best of the Metropolis stylish art such as the false Maria 'robot' and the cityscape's including the New Babylon tower and work that into color, art deco artwork.

I have a question for people using imperial measurements as the first plans will be in imperial. Can someone tell me what sizes MDF board comes in that would suit? I have no problem with this in metric but imperial I'm not sure. I'm assuming side panels or anything with T-molding would be 3/4 Inch? I'd prefer to use 3/4 inch and then the next thicknesses down for other panels including CP construction i.e. the equivalent of say 16mm and 12mm board. Once I have those and the preferred board sizes to cut from, I'll get stuck in to the first cutting plan and construction steps.
