Paul Spooner's Machine of Thoughts

[A. Pirling]

At the risk, that only a few of you will be interested in this model,
I would like to show You, nevertheless,
a special work in the area of the cardboard model construction.


The cap of the „Machine of thoughts“
and the single figures of thoughts
move by pneumatics.


Already considering the head model I expected with tension,
if the mechanics function really,
as in the instructions described.


It worked perfectly.
While moving the lower big bolt
the cap opened.


And with every other "thought"
the tight question recurred whether I had worked exactly enough.
Yes, every "thought" did his duty.
In this way I came immediately 5 times to great successful experiences.
With 'head pain' there rotated the discs,
at the Dodo moved the wings,
Europe rode on the bull
and the vacuum cleaner man started to work.


To somebody, who likes a little bit droll things,
I can recommend the machine of thoughts heartily.
It is great fun to me and my guests, to see the machine of thought
working.


Greeting


A. Pirling

Herr Pirling, wunderbar! Es macht mein Hertz gern.

[Vermin_King]

Phenomenal. Approximately how many hours are required for a piece like this?

[BobGurkin]

This is a case of having waaayyyy too much time on your hands

[Jim Nunn]

This is very imaginative and wonderful example of kinetic art (kinetische Kunst), Will you be makeing this avalable?

Jim, this is a commercial printed kit. I checked a bit earlier today and it is available on Amazon for a reasonable price (which reminds me, I have to hit the buy button for my copy now that I've told my fellow modelers about it).

[ARMORMAN]

Very cool and very nice build....
