Hi There,
Thanks for your feedback, Here is a little photo series of the making...
::::::::::::::::::::INSIDE:::::::::::::::::::::
The boards etc where all made from breadboards, very ugly and spaghetti like,
but the leds and buttons line up well and feel surprisingly robust. Lots of hot glue involved, again ;)
::::::::::::::::::: Outside, Bodywork :::::::::::::::::::::
Here is an Oxygene8 happily sitting there, not expecting to be mistreated in any way...
Same keyboard after a brutality session!
I used cardboard of make a basic "idea" frame, to the size of th panel. Glued with hot glue .
Now came the hard part, I had to smear the cardboard with car bodyu filler (called mastic here in france) ,
and sand the hell out of it (I spent about 3 hours untill my hands nearly dropped off).
i could have achieved a much nicer finish with a few extra hours sanding/filling/sanding/filling/sanding again
But hey, this is diy, and I kinda like the organic feel of it's imperfections (thats my excuse for being lazy)::)
So here it is, on a glorious almost spring-like day:
The font panel was made 100% in schaeffer front panel designer
Based on Wilba's design (Massive respect to Wilba by the way!),I had to vectorize the waveform icons
so here they are if anybody wants them:

... A perfect contender for a midibox FM of coarse!
Thanks for looking,
Best regards to all fellow midiboxers!
