So I'm only ever making one of these. I never repeat (unless someone wants to throw me money) and so perf board will do. No I'm not showing all my crappy wiring. Basically the imp goes on one side and the VM module on the other.

After I had everything mounted and connected I trimmed the perf board. I always deferr decision like when to cut and trim to the last responsible moment to give me options. In the picture above you can see the Imp module, the Blink M and the back of the LiPo charge. Below I jameed evenything up into the compartment and got it all to fit.

I then decided to move the power outside so that there was enough room to push the Blink M back in. It was clear by now the LiPo was not going to last as I wanted so I need to add a USB cable as it would remained plugged in more than I wanted. In this shot you can see the VM module on the other side of the Imp module.
