Here are the 3 corners of the cab in closer detail for those who have been curious. Here are two angles of the CP Corner. In the first picture a side shot of the CP corner where T mold/cut and laminate meet. In the 2nd picture you can see the beauty of using 5/8" MDF is that once the glue is added to the Laminate you get a perfect end to end flush with T Molding applied: Here is the top corner of the cab: And finally the bottom corner. Again two views: |

Wow thats a neat job! Thats half the reason I didn't make a thread, you would always make me look bad :applaud:. I am planning on making a thread when done showing all my pitfalls (and theres alot so far). I only have mine assembled. Laminating is next step. On the cold cathode tubes, if you do go with the under CP idea, I put a small sliver of shiny sheet metal along it on the front edge reflecting the light down and it made it alot brighter. |

The Cold Cathodes are really cheap...a pair like in the picture below run about $10 and they come in various colours. Here is what the green cold cathode I will be using looks like lit if you are curious: --- End quote --- Ya those would work excellent for the under CP idea. I basically mentioned LEDs since they seem to be "standard" PC lighting due to their low power consumption. |

I just love the diffused lighting of the Cathodes for exterior lighting, everything is basked in a shade of green. |

Lookin' good Epyx, love that 5/8 + laminate t-molding job. Though it looks like you can cut a bit more out of the t-molding teeth around that top corner, it looks like it's separating from the slot there. :cheers: :applaud: |
