Photos and/or measurements of Amiga 500 - Page 4

Actually they ARE from the right side, but I removed the space and enter keys so it would be easier to see. It's correct though, right?

OK, so the caseis 13º and the keys are 15º then?

Did the rotation and yes, it looks more accurate now:

Yes, it's correct.

Yes. The keyboard rests on tabs moulded inside the left and right sides of the case. they are lower at the front than at the back, giving an extra 2º of inclination to the keyboard. I had failed to notice this earlier.

Hey Prowler, how's the measuring going? If you have the time you could measure the holes on the back for the inputs. Wouldn't take that long.

prowler · 25 May 2012, 22:44

Okay, it's got to be easier than the top.

I'm so busy at the moment that I've hardly got time for anything except work and gardening, but I'll see if I can get something done for you this weekend.

If you could 3d print them it would make a nice model, keyring or USB stick enclosure. I'd buy one!

Hello bLAZER, could you please do a hi res bird perspective picture ?
I'd be mighty grateful

Or Prowler... same shot, but with a real A500.
I know there is one already, but it is too dark. More light please

Retrofan · 18 January 2013, 04:27

bLAZER have you got any improvement on this?

bLAZER · 18 January 2013, 22:09

Not really, didn't get those measure from Prowler yet... (hint hint). I looked on ebay a couple of times to buy a A500 actually, only to model it accurately, but haven't found any yet good deals yet.

Okay, okay, hint taken.

I have so many things on the go at the moment, but so little spare time.

Please don't waste your money buying a machine just to model it. I will get around to finishing this - but I need to be in the right frame of mind.

Give me another prod if nothing happens for another nine months.

bLAZER · 04 February 2013, 21:07

Hehe, sure. I'll set my alarm clock

bLAZER · 14 February 2013, 23:46

Just thought I should post a render of the current state. No progress since last May. The rear obviously has some work left. Then there's pretty much finishing all the corners, bevels etc. so they are nice and smooth. And then finish the texturing.

Thanks for posting that, bLAZER!

Your WIP rendering of the back might actually help to focus my interest on measuring that up next time I lay eyes on my A500.

bLAZER · 15 February 2013, 00:05

Ah, my devilish plan worked then

prowler · 15 February 2013, 00:14

Yes, it worked!

I admit it doesn't look that difficult when I see what you already have...

Retrofan · 15 February 2013, 01:13

Yes, what you've got is really nice

Edit: Hehe... and this thread has 7000 views
