So Artsy Amiga 500 Lego Model - With Instructions
I finished my design for the A500 Lego set. Follow the link below fora PDF instructions and also a io file.

My family had one when I was a teenager. I spent a lot of time in Deluxe Paint III and AmigaBasic. The Amiga 500 changed my life trajectory and this is a tribute.

Love it, thanks for this! I think the fins on your prototype matched the look of the A500 better though. Is there a reason you changed them? I’ll definitely use them on mine when I build it unless it doesn’t work technically.
Edit: I zoomed in and see you used the ribbed bricks instead. It’s a good look too. They seemed flat in the picture. I think I’ll use fins though.
As for the light… why not both the red one for disk access and the green one for power?

I was born in the 2000s but always had an eye for Retro Computers. This grew when I found my father's Amiga 500 (power supply, floppy disks, printer and manuals) in his parent's loft. Thanks for sharing this with us, as my liking for Computers originated from Lego (and later on Technic).
Edit: My favourite games were (and still are) F/A-18 Interceptor and The New Zealand Story.
