Picture of the whole Sketchup model? Not right away! What would be the fun in that!

Here is a picture of the cabinet, IKEA style:


The highlighted parts are the ones that are already cut and ready for sanding/priming/painting/assembly:


As for the approximate dimensions, the assembled cabinet is going to be much smaller than a 25x25x25" cube.

Slightly OT. Did you construct those components piece by piece in Sketchup or is there some kind of "unwrap" plug-in?

Nope, I do build each panel one by one. Sketchup seems to be made for "empty" models (i.e. only surfaces, like game engines I guess).

And then I took each panel and rotated it "flat" and moved all pieces in that pattern. Takes time, but it was worth it for the joke. ;)

Strange that nobody mentioned the marquee yet...

Are you putting a tiny LCD in the top right corner of your marquee?

Yep, the MVS "mini marquee" is a tiny 1.2x1.2" LCD screen. Looks easy enough to program, I should be able to drive it from the parallel port of the computer.

I may have to rework the printed marquee artwork a bit so that the LCD doesn't appear so tiny relative to the text, but otherwise that's more or less the final look.
