Paper computers

karios Posted on 6 years ago 1 minute read

Since we are all stuck inside for a while, it was inevitable that some projects we would never do, just happen to be a good idea. One of them was making an Amiga 500, my first Amiga model I owned back in the day, out of paper.

The link to the file I used is https://www.docdroid.net/PE7D4vg/amiga-500-ver1-pdf if you feel like making one for yourself. There are also a few different screens of games to put on the screen instead of the Workbench image if you prefer. A mousepad is also included.
By the way, I used a simple white elastic band for the mouse cord. I think it looks great.
The guy who makes these has also made paper models of MANY MANY other things, including 80s and 90s PCs and game consoles. You can find his excellent work here: http://rockybergen.com/

Here are some pictures of the end result, some on top of my keyboard and some on top of a real Amiga 1200.

If you are located in Europe, you can buy my new sci-fi fantasy book “Ground Zero” directly from me for a better price than Amazon.
