Well done for not getting wound up by my reply :)
You should just have at it, get in there and take it apart. You'll work it out. I'm no expert but I think panels shaped like that are generally sheet metal. That doesn't mean you can't replace it with wood.

No, Moon Patrol's panel is wood.
Look at the "Echo Base" build. It's based on a Moon Patrol, and it has the layout you want.

This is EXACTLY the kind of thing I was looking for. Thank you!
But now I am depressed, because I don't think mine will look half as good! :cry:

It is, im my opinion, one of the best looking scratch builds ever on this site. But don't worry about how yours will match up - If you're happy with yours, that's all that matters.

I will definitely try my best. I am a graphic designer and work in a print shop, so the artwork shouldn't be a problem. It's all the CP work and restoring the old MP cab I want to get right.

I think you are going to find that it is easier to learn woodworking than art and design. That has been my experience anyway. If you can make your own art you are well on your way. Good luck with your project.
