I used dvd cases for my first cockpit, slid the a4 printed dashboard in where the original printed cover was and used a soldering iron (nail over mums cooker) to melt holes in the dvd box, happy days

You can also print the lower paper layer on a sheet of transparency (for overhead projectors). Anything drawn as white will print clear, letting the backlight through.
