well, i did a "DK" style cab a year ago, with blueprints from jakobud..... FAIL!

I started making a "mold" for the sides:

Then i placed the MDF on top of the mold, and used a router to make an excat copy:

the result:

The finished result:

I must say it was much easyer that i thought! - the 2 sides was allmost a perfect match, i only need to do a little sanding at the curves :D - now it only needs some shefls, backplate , plinth and paint  :D

Anyone know witch colorcode is used on this partikular cab:

It has no speaker hole, coin door and monitor :P

In all seriousness, the piece between the monitor bezel and control panel looks too big.

Edit: The bottom piece looks too short, probably because that other part is too big?
