I couldn't make a Spectrum replica and do not give to it his buddy ZX Microdrive. I remember when I had my TS-2068 that I considered the microdrives the most exciting peripherals for those computers, not only because they were cute but also because it was a chance of get rid of cassette tapes (well kind of, LOL!). Unfortunately I never had the chance to own one. Actually I never have seen one of those little guys personally, just through pictures.
This one was made out of MDF, PE sheets and paper. It was painted in black with a rattle can and I applied an actual 5mm LED at the front... Of course as any of my replicas, this is not functional and have the intention of being exclusively decorative.
Here a couple images of it together with my Spectrum replica!
Very nice indeed! You're a model maker aren't you? I mean as a general hobby, trains, planes, something similar I would guess? I am one myself and from the level of skill you demonstrate, its obvious that you've done quite a lot of this before. If not then you ought to take it up as a hobby!

Yeah, I like model kits. I have assembled and painted tons of them. Nowadays I am more focused on manga figures and spaceships.
My favourite is the 'Hazels in Caramel' on the top shelf, stunning work
In all seriousness though these are amazing. I used to love building Airfix models when I was a kit. It's just a shame that I only had a tin of maroon paint hence why I had a maroon Spitfire hanging from the ceiling and a maroon Stegosaurus
