I trimmed out the windows with 3mm x 3mm balsa sticks. The foam board is 5mm thick and I will use 2mm thick clear perspex as "glass" in the windows, so I aligned the trim with interior walls. Later, I will push the perspex up against this trim and glue it in place.
The flooring is made from balsa as well; I used a packet of pre-cut sticks (a similar size to coffee stirrers) and cut them to length. Since the Pod is so narrow, I ran them from front to back to make the space appear a little larger.
I'm quite pleased with how the wood looks after a light sanding, and I think I might actually line the rest of the interior walls in this manner, although I will probably paint the walls and stain the floor, and maybe a feature wall on the lounge room end of the Pod.
After that, I painted the window trim black to match the cladding.
Making slow but steady progress :-)
