Greetings, folks! Got a simpler, more laid back video here while I work on a handful of more involved projects. It's all about assembling a 65% scale model of the classic ThinkPad 701C -- with working TrackWrite keyboard!
Well, mostly working, heh. Seems these things vary a bit in terms of the plastics and overall end result in terms of the Butterfly mechanism. Still, it's an excellent-looking little model kit and it was a fun afternoon project to assemble. I'd love to find more vintage computer models like this to put together, if they exist.
Onto the next videos for me though! I've buried myself deep into lots of simulated flight in preparation for the launch of Flight Simulator 2020, super psyched for that to come out on the 18th. Seriously, if you haven't seen the latest on FS2020's featureset, do yourself the favor of looking up what it can do, it's utterly bonkers in scope and detail. So I hope you're in the mood for some retro computer aviation and chunky pixel landscapes in the near future!
