As for plexi, check out my reply in your previous thread.

I hope that it will eventually look a little like this:

As I said, not too impressive :P just a slightly shaped lump of chipboard with some templates taped on it :)

I've built a base for the CP to sit on, and it's held on by a couple of hinges.

It's really just for prototyping at the moment (hence the chipboard) but it's looking good so far :)

Edit: Never mind, found it. The link on the main page is outdated, however.
