Hey Retro, I have a great idea, I think your project is small enough that this iron on melamine might work for you ( it's only 24" wide) seems like one roll should do your whole project, oh yeah it comes in grey and white too! I just used this stuff on a couple of xbox 360 controllers and it worked great! almost as tough as "real" laminate, but much easier to work with, I only wish they made it 48" wide so I could use it on a full size cab just be sure there no imperfections on the surface, but over MDF that should be no problem at all |

Thanks Bender, I'll try to find some in the UK. Made some progress with the speaker housings (it's not glued yet as it all needs finishing/painting etc so it's a bit squiffy): I'm mounting 2 1/2" shielded speakers behind there, with some black speaker cloth the hide them. From the images I have it looks similar to the original cab, but it's the best I can do anyway! |

I have a roll if getting it shipped, or finding it there is a problem |

Cheers Bender, I'll give you a shout if I have difficilty finding some here. |

I spent today filling, sanding, filling, sanding, drilling, screwing.... ...holes for these: Putting some piano hinge in, the idea is to have the back and sloping top hinged in two parts for easier access to the inners. Since the back panel is pretty small, having the top removable will mean I'll be able to get anywhere inside except to the bottom of the control panel. I'll leave the base screws visible for that. The top and back will lock down with a barrel lock: Probably placed centrally at the top of the sloping back panel. Oh, and just to prove that the monitor fits (yep, it's tight, but it gets in there without the need to remove or modify the casing): Did I mention that building two is a right royal pain in the :censored:? You have to do everything twice you know - what's going on there? :-\ |
