Found a couple of cheap picture frames at a low cost store, figured I could use them. I kept the back plates to add some stiffness, the thin plywood is quite bendy alone, and cut away where the switches would be. On the left panel I've prepared for some extra accessory switches (lights and such) and drilled holes in the ply, the paper front isn't glued and can easily be replaced. The schematic was drawn in MS Word.
I haven't yet figured out how to fasten the frames, but it'll work itself out eventually. First I have to solder all the wires to the switches and get them organized in a way, the idea is to keep the panels removable for easy access if/when needed.
