Here's one for you. How hard do you think it would be to sculpt a human brain and how accurate do you think it should be given it will be in a jar (in this case on top of a robot)? The more i look at the prices of model kits and jello molds and the fact that its not going to be handled the less i think i really need to buy one since i have a ton of super sculpty. I can make the individual pieces to bake before assembling it.

Easy to make.
At first I thought you were building Hector. (Saturn 3)

Farrah and Kirk Douglass? Back of the album. So many cool props, but so weird a movie.

Actually those are the two exact kits i was looking at on amazon. i'm just not sure i want to pay that much for something that won't be seen. If i could find a 1:1 jello mold at least its only 7-10.00. i may end up getting one of these kits just seems like alotta cash. i may try and sculpt one first. i have a want ad up in the JY but i doubt i get hits.

I doubt you'd even need a mold. Just pull up as many pictures of brains as you can and base it off them.

Well as a psychology study who has regular contact with various anatomy, including brains, I'd say sculpting one depends on a few things. What condition is the brain going to be in. ie. are we assuming the dura and pia matter are removed, what condition the blood vessels and cranial nerves are in. Also what medium the brain is to be suspended in. I actually have a human brain in a jar preserved in fluid in my lab. If it would help you I can try to take pictures of it. I don't know how well they'll come out though.

Does it have to be human?
Amazon has a good selection of stuff but i just don't want to spend alot on something that will just sit there. The photos in Fallout of the robobrain isn't very detailed so i plan on including all the parts and part of the spinal chord just for my variation. In the games they're suspended in a nutrient gel of dubious origins lol. Actually i don't think sculpting would be too hard other than the ridges. The hard part is getting the sizes of the parts just right. I found a model on amazon just the right price but its pocket sized.

I've successfully made two brains. They are still in my kid's heads though...:lol
Go to www.human-anatomy.com they have a budget plastic brain for $40.00

I don't know.:confused The materials might cost as much or more than getting the plastic brain outright. Were you planning to use sculpy? That's pricey stuff.
