Title: Looking at this bartop, how do you get the right dimensions for the artwork?

Hi,

I'm looking at buildng my first bartop and I'm looking at this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BARTOP-ARCADE-MACHINE-2-PLAYER-DIY-FLAT-PACK-KIT-18MM-MDF-WITH-T-MOLD-SLOTS-/151627183923?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item234daf3733 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BARTOP-ARCADE-MACHINE-2-PLAYER-DIY-FLAT-PACK-KIT-18MM-MDF-WITH-T-MOLD-SLOTS-/151627183923?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item234daf3733)

I see use plexiglass for the marquee and to cover the monitor, but for the artwork to you give rough dimensions for the sides and control panel and send off?  How do you stick it down?

Do some use plexi glass on the control panel to cover the artwork so they can preserve it?

Thanks
