My slow progress into the AV8B pit

Hello all

For the sake of keeping anyone interested up to  date on my terribly slow progress I thought I'd share some pictures of what I have managed so far. I'll try to make this a bit more interesting over the coming eons, but for now here's a small photo dump. If you want to know anything just shout and I'll do my best to keep this going.

Also anyone else blindly diving into a similar pool of dispair check out the OpenHarrier group on facebook, me and a few others post there too!

UFC done. Well .. this was done a while back and all works, but I have recently got my hands on some 14segment digits so I'm in two minds about re-doing the displays. It would be an absolute pain but would look better .. so we shall see

MFD's mounted and all working ingame, needs a spot of paint but that can come later

These ones aren't final as i can't backlight them, but i 3d print them white, spray them grey and then use the laser to etch the lettering on. Same way i etch the panel itself. Comes out really well and can be backlit too if made from something translucent

ODU finished and working in game. Had to use 14seg displays and make my own 5 digit units as i couldnt find anything similar to the dot matrix style that's actually used .. but it matches my UFC and works so I'm happy.
