Electricsteam Posted January 30, 2017 Here is a little diorama I did to try and get out of my lego slump. Been really interested in the 80's and 80's tech, from Commodores to tape drives to big old floppy diskettes. Anyways, enjoy my diorama of an 80's nerd in it's natural habitat soldering away.

Darkdragon Posted January 30, 2017 Love those supercomputers. That nerd looks so happy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Littleworlds Posted January 31, 2017 Looks great! The computers are elegantly built and look very proper. Really neat For the screens I would have chosen command-lines instead of windows though - that would make it an Über-Nerd's lab Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd love for the round CRTs to look more like oscilloscopes instead of a record Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd love for the round CRTs to look more like oscilloscopes instead of a record LOAD "", 1 LIST 10 PRINT "NICE BUILD" 20 GOTO 10 My 1985 Commodore Amiga 1000's AmigaDOS came with a GUI out of the box. Those records could also pass nicely for 9 track reel to reel computer data storage tapes that the mainframes and minicomputers used. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forresto Posted January 31, 2017 That supercomputer is probably not even as powerful as my phone (okay maybe an exaggeration ). Sweet build, its hard to do distinct modern time periods in Lego but this immediately reads as eighties. Great job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
