Interestingly, when looking at Slave on the net, I came across a couple of sites where he gets a mention:
The Blakes 7 wiki - Sevencyclopedia : https://www.hermit.org/blakes7/SevenCyc/S.html
and 'Starring The Computer' which showcases actual pc hardware in TV and film! The Acorn System 1!
https://www.starringthecomputer.com/computer.html?c=209
It was that site showing the acorn system 1 that gave me the dimensions I needed to work out how big the whole thing was. I started out just building that one piece and just didn't stop until I'd filled the space available to me.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, it's not a scale model, it's full size (albeit with only a small section of the base constructed).
ReplyDeleteStill really impressive Kev! Bill Better looking that Zen, but not as quirky as ORAC!
DeleteThanks, yep, he was well meaning, was Slave. Sadly met his demise shortly after Scorpio broke up after crashing (in fairness to its pilot and Slave, it was shot down!).
DeleteWow! That is one amazing replica! Don't know how you do it! SFZ
ReplyDeleteThank you. Heaven knows what I was thinking, making one this big!
