Introducing The PistonBroke Line
#80
Hey Jack, on that control panel question, here's how *I* would do it:

I would take a piece of that plexiglass you have there, and using thin tape, mask off your track schematic in reverse on the back side of your plexi, then paint the pack side of the plexi the dark blue. If you REALLY want to get trick, make that "Piston Broke Line" name on a decal and apply that (a reverse decal) before you paint the back side of the panel. That way, when you flip it over, it is nice and smooth, glossy, and will look sharp (once you remove the tape after the paint is dry). Then I would enclose it in a wood framed box with lighting behind it.

That is just how I dould do it.
