Am I seeing this right ? A doll-house sized model of a mainframe ?
How cool is that ?

That's so f$%*@ng cool. I only thought a mini size of the IBM 360 existed.

only cost me 100bucks :D

Now if you could only get the big one for $100, or, assuming HO scale, $8700.

don't think there is any surviving p1000 macheans left just manuals and a model in contact with a fella that scanned all that stuff worth getting a copy to have somewhere els on the planet

Apparently, by today's asking prices for mainframe miniatures you got a great deal

Not sure about what they're made out of but do they feel just like regular plastic car models? That model glue I think somewhat melts the plastic to get it to bond together.

they're actualy quiet heavy
