One thing that I think *would* be awesome in surface

would be to do a "scale model" based on the straight-8, with
all those little SMT diodes and transistors, and no logic

planes) :-).
I've often considered doing this. General-purpose SMT diodes and
transistors are super cheap. Several years ago I picked up a
straight-8 print set with this in mind.
(It might also be cool to make some of the diodes the
glowing kind.)
Oh now that's just twisted.
