chrisparana,

@mhzmodels I love your stuff. Can you do an Apple IIgs?

mhzmodels,

@chrisparana @mhzmodels Thanks!

One of these days (in the near future) I plan to do a focus on Apple hardware, so stay tuned. 📺

chrisparana,

@mhzmodels @mhzmodels nice! Always thought the IIc/IIc Plus with the floating CRT design was one of their best. And of course the IIgs, with that neat keyboard and external 3.5” …such cool industrial design.

mhzmodels,

@chrisparana @mhzmodels I agree. The IIc wins in the looks department, for sure.

My mom had a IIe that I used sometimes when I was just a toddler. This was back in 1985. I was obsessed with playing Alf with the joystick.

Never even knew any of the other Apple II computers existed until about 1996, when I saw some in our schools computer lab. They felt very outdated compared to our Performa at home, or even the Mac LC III machines at school. Of course we all wanted to use the "newest" computers.

Really regret not exploring them more back in the day.

@mhzmodels @NanoRaptor Today is the first time I've learned about voxel. Any help with how I could learn more about it? Thank you

mhzmodels,

@al3x Hey there, Alex! The software I use to create my models is called MagicaVoxel.

It's a great tool because you can make some really interesting things with it right away. 🐶​

Similar to working with building blocks and pixel art.

@mhzmodels Love your art so very much and I cannot tell you how much of a smile it brings to my face every time I see it in my feed. Thank you!

mhzmodels,

@jay Thanks for the kind words, Jay! I look forward to another wave of model making soon. 😎​

@mhzmodels Holding out for a Performa 476. You can put mine to shame! (see my avatar created back in 1996 with ResEdit) 😁

mhzmodels,

@freehours9 I think once I am rested and ready to make more, Macs and clones will be my first priority.

Your avatar is fantastic! I like knowing how special it is. If you made it back in '96, nothing today can beat it.

ResEdit rules. 🤓​

@mhzmodels Rest up and be well my friend ❤️

@mhzmodels Love that #Amiga picture!

Like you I’m also keenly interested in #retrocomputing and computing history in general. I grew up during the #C64’s heyday less than five miles from #Commodore headquarters. I’d love to see more artwork featuring their products.

@mhzmodels @NanoRaptor Those are just absurdly pretty
