Showing off!
To make an already long story short, on the left side you'll find some ideas and preliminary layouts of a typical front panel (Oakley VCO) in the chosen format.

Here is a scan of an actual test panel I did based on an existing MOTM-410 module.

Many thanks to Paul "Sikorsky" Bower for the scanned picture of the Maplin K7B knob!
