Today, the acrylic front panel I made came in. The colours are not right (for once, they are worse in real life than in the picture). And some other details did not come out as I want. For isntance, the LED windows are not shaded in red as they should be. Oh well, at least the colour bar at the bottom of this panel will help me colour-match against real PDP-11's soon.

This is a cropped version f the intended full panel. As long as I do not have a replica case, I'll let this cut-down-to-size version live in a PiDP-8 case.

The PCB should arrive on Monday, as well as deep-dark-red 700nm '70-style LEDs. Modern red leds are not quite right on the PDP-11 - thanks to Joerg for that tip! Things are moving now.
