Do you have this sort of thing all figured out before you begin or do you simply jump in and let the muse take over as you go?

Well, I am glad you all like it so much !
To answer your question, Sir Mouse, for the most part...it just occurs, often accidentally. In this case, I just grabbed an old kit, and started gluing on bits and pieces. I also save almost every bit of metal and plastic that we use around the house. The hinges for the birth control fans were from bic razors, the fan blades were cut out of some blister packaging from my new (yay!) firewire.

The drugs are working just fine, as well as the hot tub ! Now I just need to build a modeling bench to go on the tub...
