Hi Andy,
Modular panels (good ones) should be back very soon, between The
Bridechamber and the return (dah dah dah....) of Stooges via Doug
Wellington.
Doug can say better how he does his panels. I design mine in
Illustrator and have metal fabricators punch the aluminum, then
painters and silkscreeners finish the job. When you're doing 20 of each
design at a time, the silkscreen mylar proof cost is spread out. I'll
be doing Synth.com style soon, also.
I've never silkscreened my own. For one-offs that would be very nice!
The first five modules are all available, from component kits to full
kits to assembled units.
Cheers, and let us know how you get on,
Scott Deyo
