    It looks great Chris.

    How did you go about bending the acrylic? I am guessing the painted finish was applied after the sheet was bent to shape.

    Thanks.

    Just a heatgun, and used some lengths of wood/clamps to help hold it down/direct the airflow, and in some places a blast of compressed air to help pull it in.

    Yea, applied after it's all bent up.

    That came out great Chris. I started one years ago, made the joystick panel and stopped. Did you make the name sign too up top?
