It also seems to me, there's a model railroad organization at Infoage. Their members build models of industrial settings at many scales; they know other builders of such models. Their models, by my eye, look as good or better than the MOBIDIC models I've seen.
Therefore: why doesn't VCFed approach the InfoAge model railroad organization, and inquire about construction of a model, provide desired size, and show them images of the various models and images of actual MOBDIC computers?
That's a good idea. We/I have a good relationship with them (Garden State Central Model Railroad Club).
If the answer is "we don't wanna spend money", then the response might be "someone may donate the funds" in the usual ways. You won't know the price if you don't ask.
$$ probably wouldn't be an issue.
