Kevin's Star Cops Box

Another obscure scratchbuild. 

 This is my replica of Box, the personal computer of the lead character in the 1987 BBC series Star Cops.

  1. I remember Box.
    It was Star Cops' correct prediction that one day, in the near future, we'd carry around small portable devices that could speak conversationally to us, in real time, and answer all our questions.
    In his case, it spoke in his own voice.
    We know it today, on our mobile phones and tablets, as Siri or Alexa.

  2. Another excellent, if obscure, replica Kevin.
    Great work.

  3. Thanks, much appreciated. Yep, obscure seems to be my thing! You're right, Star Cops got that bit right and voice activated controls and large flat screened tvs. Not bad for 1987.

  5. Thanks. I've been meaning to get around to making this for years. I was never sure of the size, until I remembered that Spring keeps him in his top pocket and I own the pocket!
