Hi,
To Joachim:
Sorry I missed your post about the lights.
I use regural christmast lights, I'll attach them to a potenciometer to dim the lights. There's not too much eat coming from those lights, several people have complained that the lights generate too much heat but in my case it doesn't happen :) .
I'll post some pics on how I do my panels.
Nice setup you have, congratulations!

To Holger:

You've made some progress, very good indeed.
Will you turn from a CRJ to a A320 builder???

Best regards,
Pedro

Hi Prdro,

nice to hear from you !

Yes, I made a big step forward, and in the meantime I spend
my time building the panels.
After I tried it to make a double layer of plexi I got in trouble
to syncronize the breakaways of both layers.
So I tried and decided to use only one layer of plexi with two smaller parts at the edges to keep the scews.
I will use the left switch for AC power of the whole system, so its
a little bit different to the original panel.
The front layout is printed on a self gluing sticker paper, and that is enough.
I will follow your idea with the christmas lights as soon as I built
more panels.The following panels will be "External Lights","Ignition",Misc Lights" and Landing Lights" and I'm looking foreward to finish them this weekend.

Attached You'll find two pictures.

Whats up with your cockpit, everything OK ?

Best Regards
Joachim

Building a Panel
 

Hi Joachim, nice panels you have there!!
I've made some progress in my cockpit , I'll try to take some pics this weekend.
Here's how I do my panels:
2 pexiglass of 3 mm each, one for the front and one smaller to hold the switches.
One piece of self adhesive transparency printed in black and one self adhesive paper for the front lettering printed in grey. I glue the transparency to the paper to block the light.

Switches holder.
In this case is a potenciometer.
