Here is the doopys counter out of the box
First job is to remove the resin display and sand it flat
Thanks to Simon (SIMpixels @ FISD) I had a nice template with all the measurements to cut out the holes for my counter button and display
Time to cut some holes! I ended up drawing my measurements on the counter.. but a more accurate/easier way would have been to actually print and stick the template to the counter. Also I cut a button out of the originals doopys resin magazine that I replaced
Next I cut a piece of plexiglass to size... its a little thick but its all I had available. I know this needs to have a curved shape to it but I've not polished this stuff before (any tips??), so for now it will remain square with the edges smoothed
Handy tip for test fitting, wrap some tape around the display so it can be easily pulled out
Another thank you to Simon (SIMpixels @ FISD) for whipping me up a counter display with my TK ID
Another test fit... Once I have finished painting it black (and possibly shaped a curved piece of plexiglass) I will put it all back together
