Okay thanks, yeah I've seen that it's whats normally used, but is it the best? I want a long lasting durable material, do yu think plywood would be okay?

ideally you want something which wont "warp" too much, as minis arent the most water tight places.
mdf covered in vinyl is what most you buy are made from.

Custom consoles isnt MDF! Its more like very heavily packed cardboard. They are a bit crap really.

lol, literally just been looking in the faqs for this!
has anyone made a kinda lopsided one so that the drivers side is clear of the clutch, i'm thinking of knocking one up to try and figure it out, i have a custom consoles one which is nearly worn through
