I don't get to see people reactions to my work very often, it was really fun to watch! I hope to make more accessible models in the future, without mass producing, keeping it hand made / hand assembled. Thank you for making this video, so much fun to see a proper unboxing of something I made, it made my day. : )
Wild idea: you could probably get former Sun or SGI employees to crowd-fund a limited run of miniatures of some of the iconic machines they made in the 90s.
Your work is absolutely amazing. Side note: There’s a typo on your website on the Z10 section. It says “one of” instead of “one off”. You can see it at 2:07. Just a heads up.
It makes me happy that this made Clint so happy. You can just here the pure joy as he giggles and just something simple like inserting that floppy was great fun.
I would have guessed they would make it about the same in performance too, way to go though may be, just run a similar operating system. Also, little nagging me, all this ingenuity kinda wasted on some really pointless thing. Luxury for ya i guess........................ I'll stop.
Jeepers, at least two of those commissions were directly by IBM. (And with "trademarks of IBM, used with permission"! I can't imagine that was easy to get from such a huge company) Clearly he caught the right eyes with his early work. Really cool! Marvelous attention to detail.
I can't imagine it's actually that hard to get permission for logo use in an art piece. Doubt it would be free, probably gotta a pay a royalty for each piece made, but can't be much worse than that
I wish I knew about this miniature release, I would have loved to have one. My grandpa was on the team that developed the original 5100 at IBM, so the 5100, 5150, PC Jr, and other models were a huge part of my childhood and my first computers.
I remember you talking in the past about how much you loved dolls houses and miniatures as a child, so this seems pretty much custom designed to squeeze money out of you. In a good way.
That is... labour of love doesn't quite seem good enough somehow. That's simply amazing. What a piece of work and what better man to radiate enthusiasm for it.
Honestly, given how small the detail is anyway and how hard it would have been to mould/carve, I wonder if it wouldn't have been as almost as easy to find some actual mini-switch to stick in there - not electrically functional, but still a toggle.
Honestly, you sound so much more interested watching a demo of Zork being played that your cannot see than you were playing that new DLC to City Skylines. Epic stuff, just epic.
If that just had a static screen with an LED behind it it would have still been amazing and no one would have expected more. That it's fully animated is above and beyond mind blowing.
The only way this could be any more insane would be if the thing was running a full-blown emulator and had some PS/1 ports on the back to plug in genuine IBM peripherals.
@@Mainyehc Buld one lol.just get a pi,build it in the block with same screen,with minture sitting on top lol.i would but I have no tools or have storage for them lol.
That is absolutely a magnificent model! :D I appreciate the detail right down to the wider spacing of the expansion slots, and I absolutely love the fact that the disk can slide in! _And_ I couldn't get the grin off my face as it showed Zork. :D My face aches now. The grille on the top of the monitor... It's probably a good thing the keyboard was never in focus or I would have died of a broken heart. :P I threw one out in the late 90s. Wasn't a good decade. But anyway, it's given me an idea: a working scale model of a mainframe using emulator software. If the original had a console, perhaps the model could have a miniature screen which echos the text sent to a full-size terminal. The piece de resistance for me would be the emulator spinning the tape spools as tape commands were used. :)
This has to be one of the most awesome things I've seen in many a long year! The things you could do with this are endless. You maybe could get some appropriately-sized dolls (Barbie & Ken perhaps?) and have a great time putting them to work doing data entry, or playing games lol. This guy's work is just amazing... Oh, and this does remind me of a miniature of sorts that IBM themselves produced - it was a paperclip holder in the shape of a PS/2 Model 25 if memory serves. Nowhere near as detailed as this of course, but it was a fun little thing I wish I'd nabbed before leaving my job at the IBM dealership.
That's so cool! It would be extra awesome if one of the floppies was the Micro SD slot, they look about the same size, but of course that would be quite hard to pull off.
This video and the little masterpiece replica sits right at the intersection of so much that I love; old tech, miniatures, video editing and nostalgia. The closing collage with the retro synth soundtrack was such a nice touch.
I watched another video about normal sized computers immediately after watching this one and there was definitely a moment of congnitive dissonance as I tried to figure out whether the guy in that video just had incredibly tiny hands or what the hell was going on. Nice job, Nicolas and Clint! You gave me a glimpse of the art!
This is a really cool piece, a lot of work went into it that really shows, a lot of the time a scale model of something usually looks like a half-arsed injection-moulded toy with a bit of paint haphazardly spread over it, but this, it's just beautiful!!! :D
1/10 is a typical R/C scale so you might find something furniture wise in the diorama stuff for them, but failing that you should be able the print of a scale ruler that will convert real world measurements to the scale as you make them.
@@juliusfucik4011 Yes you can but it's easier to make mistakes that way, with the scale ruler you don't have to convert anything in your head first, just hold it against your material and mark where the measurments are from the real world item, they are all free online and require little more than a bit of scrap card or plastic and a craft knife to make them last.
I've always thought, if someone wanted to turn Radio Shack around they could hop on the classic mini console craze and release a mini Tandy 1000 with built-in classic PC games compatible with Tandy video/audio. I would be first in line to buy, but alas... Anyhoo, this is as close as I've seen yet to a mini classic PC!
Might be nifty, but OTOH, you could just run an emulator on a PC. Since a modern PC isn't much different physically from a Tandy, 80% of the experience would be there. Such a device would use built-in games, like the console versions do, so the lack of floppy disks on modern machines wouldn't matter. You could stick a cardboard box on the back of your monitor, and sit next to the microwave to simulate the radiation you'd be getting, perhaps go in for a couple of X-rays at the dentist every week. Other than that, mostly the same.
Hey LGR, I just wanted to tell you that your videos "spark joy" (to borrow a phrase). Watching you totally geek out over stuff like this is really fun, and a nice way to spend a chill half-hour on YT. Thank you for sharing it with us. Also, how satisfying is it to use tweezers to insert and then click in a micro SD card, amiright? Cheers!
That is incredible! I must admit, I'd be fanboying dramatically. It's way way out of my price bracket, but I'm so happy that this sort of thing exists.
I’m so happy you bought this, thought of you immediately when I saw he was offering this! I almost bought one myself, but you having and documenting this we can all appreciate the beauty of this machine!
That is so cool! and so dang detailed. The macro shots in the video shows the tiny details and I find it fascinating that that much detail is possible in that tiny of an object. Also shows that focusing on that tiny screen was probably not easy and looked a bit overexposed when you first turned the screen on.
Amazing! I think the price is incredibly cheap for the effort and design that went into it. I honestly think he could have charged double that and still sold out in no time. What an incredible piece of art.
Haha brilliant video. I can't get over you putting the little disk into the machine action from different angles with tweezers. It somehow reminds me of Synecdoche, New York. Charlie Kaufman seems to have a thing for characters' little model making obsessions. Very fun. Thanks Clint.
That´s made with skills and detail, looks awesome! I´m sure you could easily run an actual PC emulator on this. If you put an 80ies video camera view finder screen (real CRT !) inside, it would even have a crispy, high resolution image. Hmm, the viewfinder CRT would mostly work with a 1:5 model, they aren´t that small.
Oh my... What a production! Suddenly CAD$559 doesn't seem so crazy. The only thing more he could've done is replicate the old IBM binder manuals! Edit: It's Zork!
Amazing work in crafting this. Thanks for sharing it - as birthday presents to yourself go, you definitely chose well! If he ever makes a 5170 replica I'd get one.
Yeah; this was cool. It's reminiscent of the handcrafted knick-knacks and such that I see all the time, back home being peddled at the market square. It's a wonderful thing, and good memories too. The music at the end, sounded like JRPG music (I won't say which).
I'm actually considering building a teeny tiny computer kind of like this and I want it to be able to actually take in the look of an old office machine from circa late '80s early 90s because that is probably the best ERA for computers so that's what I want to go for and I have an idea and disguise of the look of floppy disk ports is actually ports for MicroSD cards and the way this thing will be power considering they don't make computer power supplies that small is it's probably going to be powered off something like a 9-volt battery or whatever
It is an amazing piece of art, and I think that it has a processor that is thousands of times faster than the original computer. And a lot more memory too.
I've worked with large IBM Power systems and your description of them looking dystopian and utopian at the same time... man, I could not have put it better ^_^
This seems like it was designed specifically for LGR. It's perfect. I expect to see it in the background of every video. I'm impressed by how detailed those air vents look. This must've been done with a high end resin printer, not your average cheap Anycubic Photon.
If it can play videos, it can run an emulator. Conceivably, you could hook up and external keyboard and... yeah, it would be completely impossible to see anything on the screen.
This is awesome!! I love miniatures, especially ones this detailed and well done. Great video as always and I'm glad you were able to get one!! Edit: If you keep messing with your floppy like that you'll go blind, lol!! 😁
This is so awesome! I love it. I wish the power toggle were in the on position if I'm nitpicking, but otherwise stonking! Potential hack would be to have a tag reader in the floppy drive and depending which floppy is inserted (with tag) it could load a different video relating to whatever software that floppy contained
I think the price is too high. He obviously is just taking old and used IBM computers, giving them a scrub and a retro brite, and then uses a shrink ray on them, and saving on shipping cost as well.
This miniature is awesome, reminds of those miniature cooking videos lol, always found those to be pretty cool since they actually cook the food with mini cooking equipment.

As an IBMer who is hands-on with z13, z14, z15, and (spoilers) z16 on a daily basis, I have to say that that z15 miniature is scarily accurate after watching his build video. Really cool stuff.
I'd love to have something like this with an Amiga 500. There's a photo that comes up when you search Amiga 500, the machine with the mouse and monitor and the external floppy drive (I don't need the drive), that's what I'd like to have. Running Workbench, X-Copy, Deluxe Paint and some Amiga classic games.

Your work is amazing. Kudos.
It makes me happy that this made Clint so happy. You can just here the pure joy as he giggles and just something simple like inserting that floppy was great fun.
Amazing to think that this thing is leagues more powerful than the full sized pc it's modelled after.
Lol right?
LOL! It looks like it runs on an STM32F103 "blue pill" which is considerably more powerful than the IBM mainframes of the day, never mind the PC's.
Bloody good point!!!
I would have guessed they would make it about the same in performance too, way to go though may be, just run a similar operating system. Also, little nagging me, all this ingenuity kinda wasted on some really pointless thing. Luxury for ya i guess........................ I'll stop.
Mind blown.
Jeepers, at least two of those commissions were directly by IBM. (And with "trademarks of IBM, used with permission"! I can't imagine that was easy to get from such a huge company) Clearly he caught the right eyes with his early work. Really cool! Marvelous attention to detail.
I saw that too and was surprised! It's always way cooler when they CAN actually use the authentic logo from big companies like that!
Same here. Amazing that IBM would even speak to this crazy Canadian.
Imagine the boardroom conversation…
@@michaelcharach tons of companies are doing stuff like this now. Partnering with artists type deal.
I can't imagine it's actually that hard to get permission for logo use in an art piece. Doubt it would be free, probably gotta a pay a royalty for each piece made, but can't be much worse than that
He was commisioned by IBM to do a miniature mainframe, so I'm sure he's been cleared by them.
The coolest part is that IBM authorized this amazing work of art!
Came here to comment the same. I’d never have thought they would!
Why is that a blerb? Imo deserves the honor of the main channel ❤️
I agree, this MUST go to the main channel.
This gives a whole new meaning to “micro computer”. 😍
Nanocomputer at this scale.

I remember you talking in the past about how much you loved dolls houses and miniatures as a child, so this seems pretty much custom designed to squeeze money out of you. In a good way.
Pretty much! Can't resist this level of detail at this scale, especially for one of my all-time favorite bits of tech
I love how even the box it came in looks like some new old stock you'd find in the depths of Computer Reset. That's so cool.
wait wait wait they didn't make it a fully functional mini 5150? damnit!
I dont know why miniaturization is fascinating to me, but I'm glad this exists lol
That’s a great point.
That is... labour of love doesn't quite seem good enough somehow. That's simply amazing. What a piece of work and what better man to radiate enthusiasm for it.
"Also, as tempting as it is: DO NOT TRY TO TOGGLE THE RED POWER SWITCH. IT WILL BREAK!"
LOL, I like how they knew it would be tempting!
Honestly, given how small the detail is anyway and how hard it would have been to mould/carve, I wonder if it wouldn't have been as almost as easy to find some actual mini-switch to stick in there - not electrically functional, but still a toggle.
This is so neat. Miniatures are magical. You should take a tilt shot pic of the real one to give it the micro look and compare it to the mini.
Person from the 80s: Oh sure, computers will become smaller in the future.
- Computers from the future be like:
For real that's awesome!
Honestly, you sound so much more interested watching a demo of Zork being played that your cannot see than you were playing that new DLC to City Skylines. Epic stuff, just epic.

Hi Clint,
Wow, another great video.
Thanks for sharing.
You should film it rotating against a green screen and recreate your LGR opening animation ... but for real at 1/10 scale. :)
OMG what a great idea!
Seriously AAA awesome! Great execution
Ok now I want to see someone with a real 5150 slot a floppy into the drive with a giant pair of tweezers.
That is absolutely a magnificent model! :D I appreciate the detail right down to the wider spacing of the expansion slots, and I absolutely love the fact that the disk can slide in! _And_ I couldn't get the grin off my face as it showed Zork. :D My face aches now.

Barbie dolls are 1:6 scale, so this would be too small, unfortunatelly.
Craftsmanship is alive and well in 2022. Amazing piece and thanks for sharing it with us.
He's got all those details right! Amazing work. Even made sure that the LCD doesn't fill up the entire screen like a true IBM CRT from that era.
That's so cool! It would be extra awesome if one of the floppies was the Micro SD slot, they look about the same size, but of course that would be quite hard to pull off.
Would be cool if the keyboard worked.
And now we know why it was $600. CLEARLY worth it :)
Closer to $440 USD, but yep. Worth it for the craftsmanship!

I'm so jealous. I actually started my IT career using 5150s back in 1981. The model captures the original so well.

IBM 5150 PC,kind of cool model name.
1/10 is a typical R/C scale so you might find something furniture wise in the diorama stuff for them, but failing that you should be able the print of a scale ruler that will convert real world measurements to the scale as you make them.

I'm a huge fan of miniatures, and this one looks incredible! Mad respect to the artist who put these together - it's a beauty.
That is a superb model. I dont know that I would spend $600 on it, but it is very well done.
More like $440 USD but still. Not cheap of course, but fair I think for the skilled labor and expertise involved.
@@LGRBlerbs I am also from Canada so yeah $600.
And this thing's SOC for driving the screen and reading the SD card probably has more computing power than the original!
More power by many orders of magnitude, considering the raw video files it's displaying!

The macro shots in the video shows the tiny details and I find it fascinating that that much detail is possible in that tiny of an object. Also shows that focusing on that tiny screen was probably not easy and looked a bit overexposed when you first turned the screen on.
funfact: this little thing has more calculating power than the original :D
Funny thing is that this thing probably has thousands of times the computing power of the original full scale 5150
Even that is probably an understatement. :)
Amazing! I think the price is incredibly cheap for the effort and design that went into it. I honestly think he could have charged double that and still sold out in no time. What an incredible piece of art.
I would love to see someone recreate the b-roll with a real 5150 and a tilt-shift.

Was going to write a comment, but I’m too busy picking my jaw up off the floor...
Absolutely incredible!!!...
This is amazing. If he ever makes a IBM PS/1 I will pay whatever he wants for it.

I was so bummed out today and this video, Clint's reaction, and this fantastic miniature is just totally turning my mood around!
Not sure a 3d printed piece of plastic, a Pi and a cheap surplus LCD is worth near 600 Canadian, but, whatever, man.
Wow, this is incredible! The 5150 was the first computer in my family, eventually it was replaced with a PS/2.
Come on people! Support these great videos! More views then subscribers. Get subscribing to LGR!!
This is so awesome! I love it. I wish the power toggle were in the on position if I'm nitpicking, but otherwise stonking! Potential hack would be to have a tag reader in the floppy drive and depending which floppy is inserted (with tag) it could load a different video relating to whatever software that floppy contained
That'd be an amazing addition
There’s going to be a lot of cool hacks for these if the screen wiring can be accessed inside the box. #WirelessEmulators
