It looks like a radio, it sounds like ... no, it's not a radio, then.
It's for an image I'm working on, hopefully I'll put everything together
soon.

Nicely modelled, indeed. The buttons worry me a bit, are they push buttons
knurled edge?

I had to comment on this. It looks like it's coming along pretty well. The
wood doesn't look quite right yet, though.
Way back in 2003, I my "Radio Graves" picture for the IRTC. Feel freel free
to scavenge anything that you might like
www.irtc.org/ftp/pub/stills/2003-02-28/radiogrv.zip. I'm sure the source
isn't pretty as it was one of my first major efforts with POV-Ray, but I was
pretty happy with the wood veneer textures at the time.

Thanks, Stephen. My grandmother had one of these, and I remember the knobs
(turning, not pushing) being smooth (and very large for my then, small
hands). The image I found on the net had white buttons, but my
grandmother's had dark ones (but not so shiny). I'm not trying to replicate
excactly this model, and it's easier to make smooth knobs.

Thanks, Jeremy. That's a nice image! I downloaded the source, I'll have a
look. Thanks for sharing. I know the wood isn't quite good yet, but I
wanted to post it anyway. The colour is a bit too red as it is. But it all
depends on the final context, so I'll adjust it when the time comes.

Ah! Modelled from memory. That is why the pots are so big, your hands were
smaller then :-)
You need to distress or age the textures for this veteran radio. A few
finger smudges around the knobs and dirt in the speaker grill.

I like those old lamp radios. We had one at home, when I was a kid: a big
box (Philips) and especially interesting was that green 'cat's eye' you used
for tuning. I see that yours has one too. Great (mono) sound by the way...
and the mysterious glow you could see through the back panel... and the
mysterious smell of dust and hot lamps... hmmm....
Your radio needs a bit of ageing I believe. Some scratches and dulling of
the shine. But excellent work as it calls up memories!! :-)

Thanks, Thomas and Stephen.
Yes, it's funny with these memories, and how the size is distorted.
The cat's eye was very mysterious, and the text on the dial window was also
lighted, as I remember it. My grandmothers room was dimly lit, enhancing
the glow of the radio. And how did all the sound get in there? It expanded
my universe at the time.
I'm not sure if I'm going to add any dirt to the textures, as it's only
going to be a little over 2 x 4 cm in the final 30 x 45 cm image.
