Beautiful Retro Media Center PC

Retro Media Center PC

Thomas Thomassen created this beautiful retro media center PC for his final project in BA (Hons) modelmaking for design and media at the Arts Institute in Bournemouth.

The making of the model involved a range of various processes. One of the ones I used the most was vacuumforming. It was by this process that most of the parts where created.

    I was thinking that it would look great next to the green one of the 50s Style Mecha Robot Models.

    Thanks for stopping by, folks!
