TopJimmyCooks:
For us Yanks, MDF comes in 3/4" and 1/2" commonly-any big box home center or lumberyard. 5/8" and 1/4" are less common.

Ond:
Thanks for the info TopJimmyCooks. I've been working a bit more on this recently. I've taken the basic concept and worked that into a more accurate imperial measurement plan and model. I've deliberately shown the model with edges left unfinished i.e. not rounded off. The bezel is now square and can be positioned either for horizontal or vertical aspect. The plate at the front has been widened to allow for the Suzo Happ multiplayer coin door. It can still be rear lit with LEDS or neon tubes down either edge,

I've also drawn up cutting plans taken directly from the model. The sheet sizes in the cutting plan are either 4x8 3/4" or 4x4 1/2".

I'm nearly ready to begin construction details including 'How to' diagrams which will expand on the cutting plan info.

Ond:
Before I kick off the construction diagrams, I thought I'd post a first draft of some side art. It's a bit different from my usual style. It may evolve slightly i.e. I might make a darker moodier version or add some cityscape above the robot Maria as a transparency. There will be art for the front panel around the coin panel, the CP and Marquee. When they are finalised I will host Hires copies somewhere on the net for download.

I noticed at least a few downloads of the plans, I intend to release these also in Metric format and perhaps decimal inches as well if that's useful.

yotsuya:
Looks good, Ond, though I would prefer to see it darker as well as with the cityscape in the background.

Agreed. I'm not wrapped in it myself. Not to worry it's more of a place holder for stuff to come. There is a concept model on page 1 of this thread which will be updated as improved art comes to hand.
