Hard rock radio

[Guus] sent in his project where he put a radio inside of a rock. He started with a 1970′s car stereo and encapsulated it in cement by wrapping it in duct tape, building a wooden form around it, and pouring in the wet cement. Three ports are included on the back for power, antennae, and speaker. He included an outline of how he did this but we’d love to hear some tips on how he made it look like a rock and not just a brick of concrete.
“but we’d love to hear some tips on how he made it look like a rock and not just a brick of concrete.”
um, it does look just like a brick of concrete – a badly deteriorated brick of concrete.
interesting idea. I wonder if the duct tape protected by concrete makes it waterproof enough for long-term outdoor use in an exposed environment.
