Model Progress

Very close to being finished. For the slide and rotate function i used a small wooden dowel connected to the top half, it slides back and forth in a 15mm long gap to cover each end. This has worked very well.
I feel as though the overall size should be slightly bigger, maybe 20mm added in both height and width.
Overall for a simple design it was relatively easy to create, all that is left is perhaps creating the volume buttons in illustrator. as well as other minor details such as the Frequency dial and speaker on top.

Nice, looks good, it reminds me of those cyborg organism thingys we talked about in art n design history last semester. Yeah looks like it is easy to hold and use. good work.

very cool, i love the shot with it in your hand, gives a great idea of size and functionality. I think the size you have with your foam model looks fine, if it got bigger it might be a bit awkward to hold and use. i like the slide/rotate function. very good blue foam skills by the way to.
