Hey gents, I will consider your subtle hints. Might organise something this year . . .
Meanwhile a smidge of progress - prototype backplate done & recessed in.

That looks great Max. But, I have to say it.......Carolyn Jones>Anjelica Houston. By a country mile.

Back plate does look awesome though Maxxy

Much as I like Carolyn, Anjelica features in my Addams Family pinball and room decor . . .
Here is her body (albeit a bit cold) after just one pass with the scheppach using coarse grain.
Man, I wish I'd bought one these bobbin sanders long ago.
P.S. The cut down pearloid bit is simply to reatain the PUPs in place. The whole lot will be concealed by an engraved black/silver cover further down the road.

Slowly progressing, too many distractions ATM.
Cut mock-up selector switchplate & positioned knobs.
Cut a rear control plate and roughly routed its recess.
Did a test piece on basswood for proposed crackle finish - Great Scot Marty, it works!!
This should require far less sanding as it disguises flaws nicely (goodbye drudgery)

[Brendan]

Speechless.

Wow Max..... You ever running out of ideas? My bets are going for a big fat no...

[stan]

just great Max!
