It’s a dark and stormy night in Grimsley Village, the kind of night Dr. Deranged has been waiting for. Tonight he will be taking advantage of the lighting storm to further his work on animating a giant brain.
With help from his mechanical minions, Dr. Deranged hopes to see the culmination of his diabolical plans.
Inside, all preparations have been made. The brain is resting on the platform, being fed by tubes of fluid. The electrodes are in place leading up to the lightning collector installed on the roof.
In a fevered frenzy, Dr. Deranged works to finish the construction of his electrical plasma machines, which he hopes will harness enough energy to animate the brain. His work is cutting-edge and dangerous. If things don't work out, no doubt Cadaver and Digger will be the first on the scene.
The Brain-O-Scope is his own design and has been instrumental in his understanding of the brain.
It’s that time of the year when I get my Halloween groove on and bring you new spooky projects. The first one of the season is a new addition to last year’s Halloween Village, a Mad Scientist Laboratory.
It's sort of a mix of Dr. Frankenstein’s laboratory meets old 50s and 60s Science Fiction movies with a touch of steampunk.
On a side note, the previous year’s Halloween project tutorials and image sets never go away. Also, Alpha Stamps still carries many of the products I used on older projects.
Alpha Stamps is carrying all of the cool products I used for the Mad Scientist Laboratory, with the exception of a few items from my stash and some unusual building materials such as;
Ping pong balls, straws, plastic curtain rings, and an ICEE drink lid.
