Thanks!

+1 on using MDF.

You may want to consider using a laminated CPO like Game On Grafix offers instead of plexi.    ;D

Oh good idea! Was easier than worrying about cutting plexi and kills two birds with one stone since I was planning on getting something printed anyways! I'm guessing these stick to MDF well?

Not to bare, unsealed MDF, but several layers of primer (lightly sand it smooth between coats) should do the trick.   ;D

So far, so good!   ;D
