As with everyone's foam model, I am still in the stages of finishing my model. I've chosen to use blue foam cause I wanted a cleaner surface finish, something I've had trouble achieving in the past when using white foam.
I've made a few changes to my chosen design. I found the outer edge corner of the original design was too harsh and contrasted too much to the soft concave form of the middle section, so I decided to increased the radius around the corners. I also thickened the width of the outer shell. I believe that this gives the radio a bolder appearance and also provides a nice frame around all the details on the inside. I made the radio more user friendly by putting the screen on a slight angle. However, there largest change would have to be the interface design. The section with the volume and tuning click wheel will now be detachable from the main body of the radio, and will act as a remote control. This will also reveal another click wheel for navigating through the menu and a keypad (similar to that of a mobile phone) behind the remote once it is removed.
To finish of the model, I need to refine the click wheels and buttons drill holes for the speaker grills on the concave section.
