Nice technique - very good looking panel. It looks like you could have some SMT circuitry on the inside surface without hurting the clean outside look.

I'll have to think about making a cut-out footprint library, so I can copy your technique...

Looking good!

It's a neat idea to use solder mask cutout, it will look better than silkscreen, since the solder mask is much sharper/accurate.

It can't have been fun cutting the D-sub connectors, but it all looks great. Very nice having the separate display too.

You’ve made nice progress Andrew! I’ve made PCB enclosure panels in the past with both silk screen and ENIG for the lettering and they came out great. I’m really interested in how you do the firmware.
