These tiny handmade cardboard miniatures of old analog audio equipment by Daniel McPharlin have to be the cutest things I’ve seen in a long time. The fine details of these vintage machines that he has recreated into miniatures exhibit an amazing craftsmanship. According to Dan they are “an interesting experiment to render hi tech objects in a low tech medium such as paper or cardboard.”
Check out the rest of Daniel’s miniature on his flickr set.

nice. my hommie mark made some just like that for an analog equip. sales website. happy little accident though. he was on crystal meth and thought they seemed average sized at the time. when he realized he wouldnt be able to sell them to some schmuck on ebay for more meth money, with a stroke of genius he managed to con a retailer into thinking they were some sweet ass marketing materials. i gotta find the link.

Reply to katyes..please find the link and share if you can.
I’d have to say that is some pretty impressive work. great stuff! I could never even attempt to make something like that even if my life depended on it … LOL!
Reply to Nick PhillipsVery nice! I wonder how many people these days have actually seen this type of equipment in real life to appreciate the miniatures ..
