Build an OND designed cab 'Metropolis'
ZTylerDurden717:
I think I understand now. The reason I'm confused is because Ond's steps don't include a flat board and threw me off.
As you can see Ond has the "marquee bottom" in the attached graphic and reflects what I sent to you earlier. Are you saying you customized yours to add a flat piece above the marquee bottom to place the marquee as per the red rectangle in the attached?

Seems I did, but I don't now remember whether it was by accident or design!
The Marquee Top piece from the plans ended up being my marquee bottom, there is no piece pointing down at the top on mine, the angle of the other piece is slightly sharper which leads to being in the right place for leaning the marquee on...

This makes SO much sense now! It's really worth getting your input because the horizontal colorful t-molding looks fantastic.

Thanks, and happy to be of help - it was a bit of a trial by error process for me at many stages!

Hi Ond,
I hope you're well. The cab is standing up nicely with the rear door in place using piano hinges. I'll provide photos when I'm closer to the wood finish. Very exciting stuff!
I'm having a little bit of trouble wrapping my head around the order of operations to mount the CP because of artwork and wiring.
From tutorial videos I've watched, the CP artwork is applied and afterward the buttons/joysticks are screwed on. If the metro CP is screwed together underneath the artwork, how do I sort the wiring/screwing of peripherals afterward with the CP box closed? I considered leaving the CP Bottom unscrewed and last in order to do the wiring but looking at your Metropolis cab the artwork adhesive seems to be one flowing piece that wraps around the CP Top, Bottom, Front and possibly Back.
Would appreciate your advice.
