The following article may contain spoilers for the original Steins;Gate.
It’s that time again! Fan Showcase #11, coming right up! (Here’s a link to last month’s showcase.)
Rocky Bergen – IBM 5100 papercraft replica
Anyone can craft and own their very own miniature IBM 5100 now, courtesy of Mr. Bergen! Steins;Gate fans will recall that this computer was present in the story under the name “IBN 5100,” and it was vital to Okabe’s journey.
The attention to detail and accuracy in this model is quite stunning, almost as if the model is a miniature, functioning version of its real-life counterpart. The best part is, anyone can head to Mr. Bergen’s website right now and print out the pattern needed to begin assembling their own IBM 5100 model.
Mr. Bergen’s Twitter page can be found here, and his Instagram page here. Be sure to check out his website for even more printable papercraft models of retro hardware!
Maho-Hiyajo – Suzuha Photoshop art
Maho-Hiyajo claims to be an amateur at Photoshop, but they sure could’ve fooled us! Maho-Hiyajo cropped an official illustration of Suzuha into a vertical resolution before letting their creativity run wild.
There’s a nice blend of soft, calming colors in this piece that is easily appreciated. Combine that with Suzuha’s wistful, far-reaching gaze, and you’ve got a piece of art that would make for a great phone wallpaper!
The original post for the art can be found here, and Maho-Hiyajo’s Instagram account can be found here. Go check them out!

On one hand, you’ve got some really talented Photoshopped art, the kind that anyone would mistake for official art. On the other hand, you’ve got Photoshopped art that’s pretty damn convincing, but also toes the line of absurdism…
Needless to say, Rosaline has done an awesome job with these pieces, some of which have left us scratching our heads wondering “Why?” These Twitter embeds might cut off some of the images’ previews, so be sure to open them in new tabs and view them in their full glory.
Rosaline’s Twitter page can be found here. Be sure to give them a follow to stay updated on their work!
That’ll be all for this month’s showcase. Tune in next month!
