MAME cabinet, controller console

Sloooow progress with this project, as usual. After quite a bit of sketching and toying around with some ideas and designs for the controller console of my MAME cabinet, I eventually chose a single sheet plexi (aka acrylic glass / perspex) approach. Here, the overall shape of the console is simply bent from a sheet of plexi around the left/right end pieces. Despite plexi isn’t the strongest material around, I assume that with the help of the end pieces it’ll support the required weight without any problems.. So, something like this:

Nothing quite like mspaint for CAD, as usual! The biggest issue now is where to source plexi suitable for this use.
