This is part of a larger work-in-progress, but I thought this phase completion warranted posting somewhere...

Fantastic work, I have thought of a muchly similar plan! This is begging to be immersed in a murky green liquid Cheesy

Yeah,

I'm hoping to add some lubrication.  That should get those synapses firing!  Wink

This will form a portion of my complete computational engine, the remainder being the mind-machine interface, control panel, and human interface peripherals.

Unfortunately I'm a tad lazy, so it may take a while yet.

Cheers,

Where did you get that cerebellum from?  That's a good looking brain, but I agree it needs some mineral spirits and perhaps some glow-wire.

That's a mighty fine brain - I trust it's part of a grander casemod scheme?

Where did you get that cerebellum from?  That's a good looking brain, but I agree it needs some mineral spirits and perhaps some glow-wire.


That looks very similar to my brain, which would mean that he got it from Erasmus Bay & Sons.  A search for "rubber brain" "brain prop" and so on will find plenty. 



The liquid is water with a little fluorescein, under UV light.  Needs bubbles...

They're armoured electrical cables which I bought for my 1926 Swift.  You can buy them from Paul Beck...

He actually sells all sorts of vintage car goodies, if you're that way inclined  Wink

Yeah, it's part of a larger mod, but that's still underway.

You can either get the brains from eBay, or you could always do a Burke & Hare  Tongue
