Cardboard Edge

[Matej]

Awesome... but i understand nothing!    Is it true electronics, or is it electronics made from cardboard (non functional) ? I'm curious...

I didnt need to use any transparent (plastic) material, so for this models I can say that they are 100 % from paper.

Man, you are really making me want to join the local paper model builders club here in town!

That is some seriously great stuff, I really like the house at the begining.

The last one - wanna a new PC? Not a problem  



This was my vision from ca. 1998 of how the future computer will look like. Motherboard is somewhat bigger than real, but graphic cards, sound cards and network cards are allready part of it so I was at least partial right.



Of course, CD/DVD compatible



You can use also rewritable 500 MB ZIP disc



This is harddisk



And its comparison with the real one



I didnt want to have sh** digital sound card, so I used electron valve for amplifying the sound.



Partialy dismantled full view. The small harddisk under the bigger/regular one is my invention - antifreeze system. I was so angry when my old Win 95 freezed every 10 minutes, so this was some kind of solution. Now something similar exists as windows debugger on the software basis.

Let see if i understood correctly...    

You build a computer with all its components (hard disk and the like) ... from cardboard ?
You even model the smaller microships, wires, buttons...    

How many hours did you need to build such model ?

I've heard of modelling various stuff (cars, aircrafts, boats, even Joan of Ark   )  but I've never thought about modelling a computer  :dum:  :dum:
