Retro Computers - Part 5

Made a lot of progress over the weekend... I was able to paint the two tape drive cabinets and get them to a point where they are now roughly 95% complete.

First I painted them a nice shade of Rust-Oleum light blue, masking off the tape drive sections...




Once they had dried I then added chrome foil and fixed the clear plastic tape covers in place.




Here is a figure to show their size...

I still have the back to paint, add a wash to the grille on the lower front, and add some text here and there (model number, branding, etc)
Nearly there... then I can concentrate on the mainframe unit... which still has a roof and some details to be added.
