Default Model Makers?

As there are a number of us who include model making with amateur radio
among our technical pursuits, I wonder if anyone has considered making a
(half-size? quarter-size?) model of the museum pieces of amateur radio?

(Obviously fitted with modern semiconductors to fit the reduced size)

Thought just occurred to me how attractive an HRO lookalike would be on the
desk!


Whereas we tend to consider the boat anchors to be just a few years ago; in
a fairly
short time, 20 or so years, the HRO design will not just be something of
recent
memory, it will be an antique of 100 years ago!
