Nice work, If I am seeing it right you pulled a mold, poured a clear type piece which is illuminated completly from the inside, then you paint out the NON lit areas around the guages. that is definately easier than multiple light sources. And will look great when its up and running.
Excellent analysis.... You know your processes. [8D]
Now I need a flat panel monitor, but I am not sure if I want a one off, or should cast that up. [&:]

Umi, the panel is great, what material did you cast it in? I would like to try that myself.

Cheers,

It's a clear polyurethane.

Umi, maybe a monitor made from the display screen of an old throw away cell phone?

Already thought of that,... I am thinking, however, a
cheap 1.1" diagonal? photo key chain display. [>:]

Maybe it will be able to display this...

Here are the flat panel monitors I worked up...
