Made me some mini Macintosh's

[Apache Thunder]

Yep I made me a tiny Macintosh SE/30! Made of photo paper and held together with a bit of glue and tape.

I didn't have cardboard paper, so I had to make do with photo paper, but it worked out nicely! Sure you can use standard paper, but it won't be as "solid".

Check it out:

Back side of it: (shows the detail pretty well)

The mini Mac sitting in front of a copy of the paper schematic.

It took me about an hour to make this. (I wanted to make sure it turned out as accurate as possible, so I didn't rush it).

Materials/tools used: A printer, photo paper for printer, glue stick, tape, and a flat head screwdriver (used to place tiny amounts of glue on small parts. used on the mouse for example)

I also plan to make a mini Macintosh Plus as well. (with keyboard and mouse too!)

Thats the sweetest papercraft I've seen yet!

I used to make things out of paper alot, I got alot of unfinished stuff somewhere in my room.
If you want a cut little buddy for on your desktop make one of these --> Rommy
I also made a miniature Nintendo DS Lite (THAT took a loooong time to make)
I think I'll start with it again

It'd be even sweeter with a Mac-on-a-chip type thing inside

Well I could snuggle a USB stick into the Macintosh Plus I plan to make, and put Mini Vmac on it....Better yet, If I had a 8GB USB drive, I could boot MacOS X off of it!

Very cool, but I think you need to find something else. This isn't going to get you anywhere. Unless you sell them on Ebay!

 

[dinofan01]

pretty snazzy

 

[Apache Thunder]

Thanks!

Finished my Macintosh Plus. Now my Macintosh SE/30 has a friend!

Close up:

I might do the Macintosh Classic, once i find it.

Sell them on ebay, people will buy anything. Those are definately a novelty.

Update: Made a second Mac SE/30. But unlike the last I added detail and modified the structure a bit.

Now the handle area extends inside the body (like it does on a real mac). It was a bit harder to assemble then the original. But it turned out nicely.

Here's some photos:


Front close up: (added color Apple logo and a pin hole next to floppy drive)

Rear close up: (notice the improved handle area and much more detail added to the back)

Keyboard/Mouse close up: (added apple logo to both, removed excess foreign language letters/symbols from keyboard, also added port symbols near the ADB ports)

Showcase of my trio of Macs:

I'm finally done. I don't plan on making more, since this should be enough. I plan to get a real Mac Classic soon anyway!
