Ibm 5160

Here is the 3D representation of IBM 5160 PC I tried to make. Open for critics. Hope you’ll enjoy it!

Hi, and welcome to BA!

Looks pretty nice!

How realistic were you trying to be? If it’s supposed to be a faithful reproduction, then the proportions of screen inset to monitor are off; the former needs to be larger. And you decided against modeling the keyboard cable? In reality that pretty much had to be running along the left side. It’s actually not as hard to model as it looks; Blender has curve spirals in its extra curve objects (only need to enable the add-on), and you just have to give some geometry to that and that’s the bulk of the effort.

As to whether it would make a good wallpaper, that really depends on one’s personal taste. I use mostly abstracts, or photos that might as well be abstracts, so I am not your target audience there. :wink:

Hi, thank you for your reply!
Yeah, I definetly missed the proportions of the monitor, which I noticed only in the end of production. Also, thanks for the advice about the cable.
