I give you a better idea, why don't you use the "carbon" technique, & then cut it out.

Just in case you don't know what a "carbon" technique is, is what we did in primary school, put a piece of paper on top of the instrument cluster, & then run over it with either carbon dust or use coloring pencil & you get the out line sketches of the panel.

hobby knife? hmmm... you still would need some steady hands. i know if that was me i would had a spazz attack in my hand while cutting and end up cutting the whole thing in half. hahaha. nice job once again.
