Where have you gotten the dimensions of the hardware you’ve previously sculpted?

Mostly random aficionado sites confirmed by separate sites and / or relative photo measurements. Surprisingly very few contradictions ended up occurring. But I intentionally started with extremely popular hardware with thousands of potential photo references.

How concerned are you about accurately replicating curves?
I’m asking because I’ve been wanting to get into making replicas! :)

Definitely concerned, especially since the first gen iMac is forsure on my todo list. But I generally find you can get curves without too much trouble by getting the endpoints and the climax of the curve measured in a triangle and then winging it for the inbetweens.
Also would love to see what youre working on when you get rolling!
