Brain in a jar...

This piece has taken longer to construct than I expected... Probably because I didn't have a plan for it and just 'jammed' it out... Everytime I solved one issue 4 more arose to take it's place... Now all I have to do is make the link to the Cranial Integument Enhancement Helmet and I could, dare I say, RULE THE WORLD!!!!
Mwwrrrhh, ha, ha, ha...

And now, a brief film interlude...

Some aspects of my personality worry me...


I don't like "uniforms" as a rule but....
I was messing about with the idea of using kilt pins as fasteners and things just spiraled out of control...

Thromnanbulaxion Tribal Masks...

During my last mission I stopped off on a small uncharted planet...
Imagine my surprise when, upon landing and stepping on to the heavily vegetated surface, I was surrounded and "attacked" by hundreds of small humanoid beings waving a variety of sharp, pointy weapons...
My response to this aggression was to scythe through the throng with a large blunt instrument, a text book defense method I had learnt as a cadet...
Imagine my embarrassment to later discover that I had misunderstood the traditional Thromnanbulaxion welcoming dance...
Later, in his palatial cave, oh how the chief of these valiant people and I laughed at my appalling faux pas...
He did, however, allow me to keep a couple of the tribal masks of the slain...

(N.B. The parallel development of the "safety" pin. Used by the Thromnanbulaxeions to ward off evil nose spirits.)

Perfume Bottle Atomizer Air Bulb Invention

I started out with the intention of building a ray-gun...
So...
The path to ray-guns is paved with perfume bottle atomizer air bulb inventions...

The Cranial Integument Enhancement Helmet

My journeys though the cosmos require the ability to communicate with many different life forms....
I developed the Cranial Integument Enhancement Helmet to facilitate inter-being interlocution...
Saves having to pull the ray-gun out to get my point across...

The Mavelous Toy...

What child could be unhappy with this...? A switch to flick... A button to push... To be rewarded by light and sound... You can keep stuff in it as well...

9v Power Supply...


Imagine, if you will, you are on stage in front of thousands of adoring fans...
Step up to your Theremin for that all important transcendent solo... You stamp down on your boutique effects pedal and... nothing... flat battery... What do you do, what do you do...?
Reach for your OSM Industries emergency 9v power supply of course...! Your reputation is saved and everybody buys one of your t-shirts from the stand your current partner is running... (perhaps a copy of your groundbreaking waxing as well..)

Kew Bridge Steam Museum


Well worth the entry fee...
Friendly informative staff, amazing engines & beautiful building...
My only criticism being the lack of Cornish pasties in the cafe...
I climbed the 240 steps to the top of the Stand-pipe tower... The view is spectacular (even on a grey day)...

Snake Skin Rose...

During my night time forays in the the under belly of Old Bognor Town I found an old guitar in a skip.
I wrapped it in old sacking and scuttled back to my attic domicile.
I have spent many hours restoring the instrument to it's former glory.
I have enhanced it's appearance with snakeskin Fablon and rose transfers.
Now behold SnakeSkin Rose!
