I just got a weird cyberstalker message from this freak called Paratrooper 42. Without going into his weird ranty letter too much I will say I am sure he is the type that jerks off furiously to girls in Bikinis shooting assault rifles.<br />
<br />
What a load of complete shit, Zero fucks given to all cunts on the net.<br />

As you can see it is designed to mate with the generic white metal parts already produced for the line.<br />
<br />
While the hull is 100% late 20's early 30's racing car the wheel guards and modern formula one style side fuel tanks harden the look and drag it away from a soap box racer style into more of a long range buggy look which is what we want. The running boards and flat rear of the trunk top also create many places where the stowage planned for the range can reside.<br />
<br />
The twin maxims mounted on the hood and the long nose creates the fusion between ww1 fighter plane and race car that suits the range and compliments the current vehicles.<br />
<br />
Overall for a first attempt I am very happy with the result. Personally I would like to expand on this look and take it even more over the top. Light truck sized hulls in this long nosed buggy style shape bristling with gunports and pintle mounts. The 'bomber' or transport to this buggies 'fighter' status if you will. Still the client calls the shots on that stuff so I can only wait and see.<br />
<br />
In the meantime I will crank out a few more hulls in this size range and start work on a side by side twin seater.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Note the hull has not been smoothed out or leaned up at this stage it is fresh from the printer. The production model will be smooth as bro.</i></b><br />

When I was a wee nipper there was such a thing as saturday morning cartoons and they were the last word in fully ace fun.<br />
<br />
6:00AM Saturday morning, wake up full of beans, pull up bean bag and strap in for six hours of fucking awesome. Especially since dad was an early adopter of colour TV in our street. (mid 70's Australia, a land of simple folk having tops fun.)<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Saturday morning kicked off with the Thunderbirds then rolled into a cavalcade of boss TV shows like Gigantor, Space Ghost and the Herculoids, Wacky Racers, Superman, Spiderman, Aquaman and all the other something-man heros in underpants fighting crime, HR puff-en-stuff, Land of the Lost, Land of the Giants and tons more.<br />
<br />
For someone like me, a naturally imaginative kid. In the age of pre internet this concentrated lump of amazing creativity and art was manna from heaven. It also had a profound and lasting effect on my life. Not only did I end up making cartoons but my cartoon style was totally reminiscent of the hanna barbera minimum animated parts formula.<br />
<br />
It was done that way because you could produce an awful lot of it in a short time relatively speaking when compared to full 12 frame animation from the likes of Disney.<br />
<br />
One of my fave Cartoons with the minimum animation style was Speed Racer. A teenage kid with a shit hot set of wheels full of awesome gadgets.<br />

Recently doing a job to make some 3d printed car chassis for Eureka Miniatures as part of their Mad Maximilian line I thought I would watch a few speed racer cartoons due to the really nice line work on the cars. After all the design is reminiscent of 30's extreme streamlining.<br />

So I kicked back on the couch, piped youtube through the x box into the big fuck off telly and fired up an episode called Speed Racer and the Motorcycle Apaches. I figured I would half watch it while doing something else. Oh boy was I mistaken. It was so mind fuckingly wrong on so many levels so frequently...... I was totally mesmerised.</div>

I must say at the end of it I had to sit back and say, Well strike me down if it wasn't the most hilarious thing ever. It was like the lads in script writing conversation pit had said "Fuck it, My talent is wasted here, lets make the most un PC cartoon in the history of cartoons!" Years ahead of their time in the cartooning world. Matt and Trey take note.<br />

Basic plot. Speed is racing in the south west of the US when he is hired by the 'Space Development Board' to transport 'Uraniumtain', radioactive material that "Will make our bombs more powerful than the H bomb!" to their secret base located on traditional apache land.<br />

A mission vital for world peace no less.<br />
<br />
The problem is the Apache object to their traditional lands been taken off them without any consultation or compensation, also to the transport of hazardous nuclear material across their lands. Being understandably pissed off, they have decided to do something about it in the form of heavily armed motorbikes shooting the shit out of the trespassers.<br />
<br />
Now the mindfuck is in how speed racer deals with the situation. The bastard love child of Ronald Reagan and Margret Thatcher could not have neo conned it as well as good ol Speed.<br />
<br />
Firstly Speed at no point says. "Hey, for a government board tasked with the development of space why are you building secret bases full of nuclear missiles more powerful than H bombs?"<br />
<br />
or <br />
<br />
"The US is a signatory to the 1966 outer space treaty that specifically states '<span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: inherit; line-height: 22.4px;">States shall not place nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction in orbit or on celestial bodies or station them in outer space in any other manner.' so like WTF is really going on here guys?!?</span><span style="color: #252525; font-family: inherit; line-height: 22.4px;">" </span><br />
<span style="color: #252525; font-family: inherit; line-height: 22.4px;"><br /></span>
Nope he just hires on with Hank Scorpio and The Space Development Board. Which I must say is an aptly named institution if you are North Korean, a citizen of Airstrip One or a member of a local council.<br />

After all that clearly describes a group tasked with deploying super powerful orbital attack platforms armed with super powerful nuclear weapons. Don't even get me started on their mission statement of 'Vital for world peace!', ....though I grant a lifeless planet is a peaceful one.<br />

Then without a second thought signs up his kid brother and a monkey to fight as well. Boldly contravening the UN mandate on the use of child soldiers not to mention very real concerns in using higher primates as what is essentially cannon fodder.<br />

Finally after an epic fight with the leader of the motorcycle Apaches he lets rip with this one liner.<br />
<br />
"Poor Geronimo he doesn't understand he has to give up some of the land to protect all of the land...."<br />

Then we finally find out the nuclear material was not with speed racer but with the kid and the monkey. Unshielded in food tins in the back of a mule cart.<br />
<br />
Which we all know is the correct way to transport nuclear material....Never get a broken arrow incident by entrusting fissile material to a kid a mule and a monkey.<br />

We used a bastardised version of the warengine V3 rules. Not a finished set of rules but if you have used any previous version of Warengine you can make them do what you need to.</div>
We add two additional stats to give weapons accuracy and damage as separate stats and the same for armour and defence .<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
We also added some homebrew rules regarding tech levels and their reliability. This is due to the post post apocalypse game setting we use. The higher the technology the more unreliable it is due to extreme age and a lack of spare parts. Most items like plasma rifles being several thousand years old. There was an intermediate stage of tech which was brass cartridge level and then a standard tech of roughly blackpowder and 20/30's vehicle technology minus aircraft.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Surprisingly the entire shebang worked really well straight out of the gate.<br />
The old tech broke down at a nice rate giving the chumps with swords a chance to hit things instead of being vaporised in an instant. That not to say many of them were not vaporised by high technology weapons before the high tech guns ran out of ammo or broke down, It was the right rate and amounts to give the game a good narrative and balanced feel though.<br />
<br />

The size of the armies the rules favoured suited the table size we play on but sadly it means I only get to use a fraction of the stuff I have painted up each game. That being said we will increase the points amounts progressively in subsequent games until the table starts to feel too crowded and see how we go.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHroJhwK9MjgR0J2oKnulKE1xdCTtJb38dBHWRUxW6aO7xGPIroXPmc3NogOtLmuz7n37542kM-uKeyxwkjekZM6OhPl_pTyLcqUiSPR3L9pThY3ji-IEzn8I0mqFKOUSE8sFWOW-GeXQ/s1600/DSC_1076.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHroJhwK9MjgR0J2oKnulKE1xdCTtJb38dBHWRUxW6aO7xGPIroXPmc3NogOtLmuz7n37542kM-uKeyxwkjekZM6OhPl_pTyLcqUiSPR3L9pThY3ji-IEzn8I0mqFKOUSE8sFWOW-GeXQ/s640/DSC_1076.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Also finally got to lock in the details for the 3d stuff he wants namely being some more hulls and a few parts.<br />
I took some quick photos of all the vehicles in the current range sans the new rear machine<br />
gunners. The machine gunners are easily on par with the quality of the new drivers and possessing very nice fluid poses. I suspect will prove a popular purchase on their own among the interwar, VBCW, ARBM and Pulp posses as they will fit perfectly into all those genres.<br />
<br />
All will be available at salute in limited quantities so I suggest charging the Eureka minis stall poste haste upon getting through the door and kitting up on all three current cars.<br />

<b>What A Splendid Day II</b></h2>
<div>
After far too long we got back to work on this beast with some exciting results.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
Here is the completed buggy. As some of you might note the rear gunner has a head swap from an empire militia sprue and most excitingly the driver has been replaced with one of the new driver sculpts.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This particular sculpt and its companion are some of the best drivers I have ever seen in 28mm. With them behind the wheel the car instantly takes on a feeling of high speed.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div>
With the basic buggy now complete it was time to add some Mad Maxian touches</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Firstly I constructed some sandrails and thunderhead warheads and their mounts in 3d and printed them out.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The output was not really up to scratch due to the printbed being a bit off kilter. I will have to level it before printing anything else. The other issue was I did not create some surface area 'sprue' on the print bed to help all those small parts stick like they should have. The downside of that was 4 of the larger thunderheads failed in the process of printing. Luckily I had doubled up on the number of warheads needed so no reprinting was necessary.<br />
<br />
I also raided the bits box for gubbins to give it a bit of a LRDG feel as well. I shall custom print some flimsy fuel cans the british used in WW2 as well.<br />
<br />
Once the entire ensemble was stuck on the transformation was rather stunning in my opinion.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div>
Then after a quick spray of undercoat white and we are ready for painting.<br />

In the background you can see a bunch of Vulture Legion Flame Lancers I got mostly finished today as well.<br />
<br />
All in all I am pretty excited for this new range Eureka is doing. Nic has also invited me to do some 3d printing for it. We will be hammering out the style bible once he returns from Salute in the UK. Once that is done I can kick whatever printing is needed into high gear.<br />
<br />
I am thinking we should also just use the printer for its strengths which would be the racing car bodies and things like sandrails or wheels. I think the very complex parts like engines and the weapons and mounts should still be done traditionally.<br />
<br />
The other upside of the printer is if I make the hulls I can custom them up to accept specially designed parts and design parts to match the curves of the bodywork.<br />
<br />
I personally would like to introduce a diesel punk edge to the range but I Nic is more refrained wanting to produce something more 'realistic' with an early 30's vibe. Partly to tie the range in with the new ARBM range.<br />
<br />
Either way they will be perfect for my gaming universe.<br />
<br />
Now because this post was far too serious and lacking in extra shit to kick it up a notch..... here is big black with Racer X<br />
<br />
Big black was a band that was formed in the 80's by people who looked like they got beaten up a lot. A friend of mine speculated their music was a form of revenge. Personally I think they are some of the hardest fuckers to ever walk the earth who distilled the essence of rage into punch in the face punk music.<br />

One of the variants I have seen is thins car above with twin mounted vickers on the nose.<br />

The ultra streamlining is something I really want this range to explore as it was on pretty much everything that was meant to go fast in the 30's. </div>

As we all know New Zealand has nothing to do with Australia. It is a small nation full of hobbits and fat directors laying off the western coastline of middle earth. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What were those fools at fitness central thinking!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This CIA map from the late 50's shows NZ correctly sitting off the western coastline of the main continent.</div>

Well all that guff aside as I have mentioned the Kiwis make excellent media. For a tiny population nation at the arse end of middle earth they really punch above their weight. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In fact chaps and chapettes, I think we should do a Fucking Awesome Flicks from Hobbitland post at some point soon highlighting some of their most awesome (yet sadly little known outside NZ) output.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In the meantime let us compare NZ vs Australian advertising. This highlights just how far ahead of the pack the Kiwis are. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
First cab off the rank is a NZ advert addressing the serious issue of people getting blazed then driving. Already they are being far more sensible about this shit than most of the planet as they have identified the issue is not people ripping a doobie then eating six mars bars and having an Orange is the new black binge on the couch. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It's the silly fucker getting behind the wheel and causing carnage due to being all fuckfaced and unable to drive well. (For those nuff nuffs that insist they drive better ripped... All I can say is every time you have thought that you have had a head full of drugs. Wake up bruv, its a dickheads call to do that.)</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
Consequently the governments anti pot message went predictably to pot. If anything possibly increased sales of cannabis as it showed if you didn't blaze up quick smart you might turn into the sort of beige fucker that thinks a sloth advert is going to sway public opinion in any other direction than total piss taking. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Which I might add was the predictable result as gems like this one show.</div>

Cashing the Reality Check</h2>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Firstly, let me say keyboards fucking rock. Typing as fast as you can talk is the only way to blog.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Been home for about 4 or 5 days now. No blogging due to coming down some throat infection head cold thing on my last day in Vietnam that is only now clearing up. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The process of getting back was also a 26 hour long horror story. Finalised in a nightmare crescendo of flitting through the void on a flying plague ship, to the musical accompaniment of a small orchestra of screaming babies. Babies who effortlessly redefined the concept of hell eleven kilometres above the earth.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hence taking some time off to recover my wits.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The last week in Vietnam was a blast. Hooked up with a nice Vietnamese girl and spent my time travelling between Danang and Hoi An having fun with her or hanging out with my friend or hanging out all together. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For the record, There is nothing not to like about Viet girls. Perfect 10's in every way (well apart from their love of awful music that sounds like cats being fed into a grinder and their unflinching ability to drive like a terminal road crazy.)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Things I loved about my Vietnamese girlfriend</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1: Hoa never thought any road situation was too dangerous to avoid having a go. Stuck behind a coach a truck and a van, why no problem. Just overtake all three at once into oncoming traffic. When it looks like there will not be enough time to get in front of the third vehicle before collecting an oncoming truck, fear not, just speed up and scare away those demons of head on collision with a cheery blast of the horn. (All the while talking on the phone in rapid fire vietnamese.)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hoa bless your driving that would have lost your license within four minutes in my country. My favorite was your random stops in the middle of the road to ask for directions out the window.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2: Letting her pick the food meant we ate like foodie lords for the rest of the stay. Perfect 7 or 8 dish meals with a cascade of amazing flavours. Best Com Ga I have ever had was in Hoi An with her in a tiny little local cafe. The prices halved instantly as well.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3: She was smoking hot and a perfect little peach of a girl personality wise. One of the nicest human beings I have met both inside and out.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In fact I am officially bumping Danang girls to the top of the list of the worlds most awesome babes. Sorry babes of Guanajuato you had a good run, but all things must eventually end. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now I am back I intend on doing some more Kerbal and miniatures building and some other odds and ends on the blog like easily putting more pics of vietnam up.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
First though I need to go to Eureka today and see about doing some 3d work for Nic.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

I shall not hunt the white elephants </h3>
<div>
If you are a married man I would recommend you stop reading this now. You will only end up resentful and depressed. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you are a white chick same story. (and no I really don't give a flying fuck what you think either.)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you are one of those cockless sensitive new age guys just eat the business end of a shotgun and do us all a favour eh. Stop reading my blog too.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ok now we are clear on that, let's continue unless you have just been uninvited.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Nothing makes a white chick uglier than being in Asia. Flabby, sunburned and soaked in sweat they lumber about like graceless elephants in a sea of petite golden skinned beauties. </div>
<div>
Their face set in a scowl wishing they had gone to Ibiza with the rest of their girlfriends instead of stinking hot Asia to somehow become a better person. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I don't understand why they think just because they bought a backpack and the same guidebook as everyone else enlightenment is going to happen.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So taking these facts into account I am not hunting the white elephants here but instead doing my usual overseas trick of hooking up with a local girl. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now many of you raised on Vietnam war movies and Asian porn clips will have a mental image of some suckee fuckee bar girl who love you long time. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I can assure you in Vietnam this is simply not the case. These girls are refined classy women with deep conservative values. Who I might add abhor the thought of bringing shame upon their families by breaking the social norms. If you want to date one, you really want your A game on all the way. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Luckily for me hooking up apps have arrived here since my last visit. This has made the entire process of meeting girls a million times easier. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Unlike Thailand a Westerner on your arm is a red flag for social disapproval here. This meaning first dates are usually you her, her cousin and several friends in a chaperone convoy of motos.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It also means you can never bust a move on one in public unless it is secret agent discreet. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It is not that viet girls don't like Western guys (many prefer us and being honest the fact all Westerners are rich compared to Vietnamese helps too.) it is just this joint is conservative </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For example holding hands in public is pushing the limit regardless of whether it is an Asian or Westerner on the other end of it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now with apps you can do all the hard legwork in private speeding up process immensely and without all the secret agent style sneaking about too.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Oh and the viet girls chase you online. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also the term "out of your league" simply does not apply unless you are stunningly ugly and or crass </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
End result, fuck all more blog for a while why I piss off and chase hot chick's.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Already got tomorrow sorted. ;-) </div>

Awesome overload.</h2>
<div>
It has become apparent that the ratio of awesome shit I am experiencing is far in excess of what I can blog each day. To continue to try to catch up is folly. Thus I have decided to just go with the flow and blog a few thoughts then do a more comprehensive bunch of posts when I am back in the bunker. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am in Hue at the moment. It is very different to Danang in a few areas. Namely the amount of tourists here is very high. Many of these being young backpackers who are travel virgins. This creates a few issues for a seasoned traveller like myself. Firstly they are fuckwits who are cheap, rude and insensitive to the locals causing resentment of Westerners. Secondly they cause the area to be flooded with organised crime backed touts who do a roaring trade in ripping them off. Finally I have to fight the urge to smack the silly little cunts upside the head when I see them carry on like pork chops. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Worst I have seen was four obnoxious Germans insist on getting a meal at a set price restaurant for 200k dong total for all 4 of them. About $2.50 US a head. A meal for one person can cost me up to 250k dong if I have a drink or two with it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Travelling companion had to remind me of my heart issues as she could see I was gearing up for violence. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I took heart in the body language of the chef while talking to the sweet tiny front of house girl who had to put up with Herman the German and his square headed pals. I suspect the camel is not the only thing to pass through the eye of a needle today. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The front of house girl also let the touts swarm them, who bled them the entire time we were there. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Finally I tipped her a wad of dough a made a point of saying in a loud voice "we are not all cheap nasty people." </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The look of happiness at a Westerner saying what she was thinking was pure gold. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then again none of us should have been surprised. History has shown us time and time again when Germans go abroad they are nothing but trouble. Just ask the Poles and Belgians. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
That being said due to both travelling companion and I being super polite and kind to the locals, we are still being treated extremely well. Show a viet kindnesses and they will return it tenfold. Maybe it is due to it being a Buddhist country that it works like this. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have to give the Americans big ups on this front. The stereotype of the ugly American is nowhere to be seen. They are a credit to their country over here. (though their men are constantly talking about their feelings like softcocks. Wtf is with that!)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I usually try avoid tourists when I travel, especially my own countrymen who are some of the worst. I recommend if you want to be a real traveller instead of a tourist you do the same. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Moving on.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hit up the royal palace today. We spent the entire day wandering around the huge complex which is an oasis of tranquillity in the heart of the city. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As many of you from the wargaming scene will know Hue was a major battlefield in the tet offensive. The palace complex was in the heart of the fighting between a VC/NVA division and the ARVN and their US allies. The resulting month long battle destroyed the vast majority of the palace and 80% of the city. The scars still remain to this day.</div>

This one had me rolling with laughter. People still use number one here to denote superior quality. Unfortunately no one told these folk it is the reverse for hotels. No Westerners staying there but it is popular with the Chinese.<br />

Military museum number 5.</h2>
Off to Hue today on the train. Due to that I will bomb the rest of the museum stuff in now otherwise I am going to get too far behind. I am sure the train will be worth a post and Hue most certainly will be.<br />
<br />
In-between museums we stumbled upon an arcade game joint like we used to have when I was a kid. Loaded with all the old stuff like house of the dead captain commando and daytona.<br />
<br />
It also had this weird one that is huge here.<br />

I hit up the old school stuff but the temperature in the joint was set for viets in the depth of winter. Big red did not handle it at all well forcing me to bail.<br />
<br />
Luckily there was a little gangster in the making, wagging school and living by his own rules in there. I loaded him up with my remaining tokens as a reward for being a bad lad. He reminded me of me at his age.<br />
<br />
I wish pinny arcades still existed back home. I love that sort of thing. It is a version of fun console games can't beat.<br />
<br />
That afternoon when everything opened back up after the midday break we headed off to military museum number 5.<br />
<br />
This place is actually inside a big military complex so viet troops were everywhere. As photos of current military stuff is strictly prohibited one had to be careful of what one shot.<br />
<br />
That being said, I took a lot of pics.<br />
<br />
The first wad is captured US gear they then used in Cambodia against the Khmer rouge. People forget Vietnam fought Pol Pot's genocidal regime for years.<br />
<br />
I will include the brass information plaques as they were the last word in over the top bombast.<br />

This was part of a huge frieze showing off the achievements of the viets. In front of it was a series of maps showing the Chinese claims in the south China Sea to be utter bullshit.<br />
<br />
Personally I think conflict in the region is inevitable unless there is a policy backflip by Beijing over the south China Sea. </div>

Folly in the clouds</h2>
<div>
Went to Ba Na Hills today. First off we had the best chauffeur in the business. I left my sunnies in his motor and he returned them instead of jacking them. I need sunnies in bright light so bro got taken care of. Upside is now we are going to his gaff for dinner when we arrive in hoi an. Sadly his little kid is in and out of hospital at the moment so I have decided to loot little bro up with a boss toy. It is a nice way of spreading the wealth without looking patronising. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is the sort of thing I love about the viets. They are friendly and hospitable people.</div>
<div>
<br />
Moving on to Ba Na Hills, All I can say is it was the most surreal place to experience. First off it has been unseasonably overcast and damp here. The locals are all rugged up like it is a Canadian winter and freezing their arses off. I am still in tshirts and cooking every time I go into a store because they have the heating on.<br />
<br />
This cold snap caused the clouds to descend until they covered the resort in a bizarre fog. I have never seen a cloud inside a building before.<br />

The only way to get to Ba Na Hills is by a 30 min cable car ride. As soon as we got underway we were lost in a Bermuda triangle of mist dropping visibility to about 5m.<br />

That shot was one of the tiny breaks we got in the mist.<br />
<br />
Once we got to the top of the mountain we entered a twilight zone set. I am just going to let the pics do the talking.<br />

Big day out </h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Massive day today. Went to the Danang museum, military museum number 5 and a boat cruise at night. I am also almost adjusted to the time difference. It is 2am in Oz now and despite that I feel reasonably awake. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We also hired a driver for tomorrow to take us to Ba Na Hills. The only other option was a group tour and a strict timetable. I don't work well in groups and I hate canned tourism. It is just so fucking beigestream.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

I will photo bomb the post later tonight when it is 4am and I am wide awake.<br />

The moat that encompasses the museum. This site played a major role in the French and Spanish invasion in the late 1800s. It was defended by the viets for 22 days in the face of firce attacks.<br />

Every single day here I see guys my age who were smashed, twisted and fucked over by this shit while still in the womb. They were not even born when the war was on yet the price they pay is heartbreaking. Their sole means of support is selling lottery tickets.

Operation Red Fang</h2>
<div>
Today was the day of operation red fang the actual reason for being in Danang. Simply put it was your basic Dr Who job. Go to an amazing place,set the universe to right and then have some fun. It went down even better than I thought it would. I was thinking it would be about 2 or 3 days to complete the mission and with a bill at the end of it in the range of hundreds of US $. The actual outcome was about 2 hours work and a bill of only fiddy US. The great bit about this is now we have extra fun days and a shit ton of US currency I now need to use up over here.<br />
Time to ramp up the luxury to 11 me thinks.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
As red fang kicked off in the afternoon we spent the morning at the museum of cham sculpture. The cham empire had a thing for chick's tits I can only heartily approve of. It was to the point of developing an entire tít based art style. The reason this happened was it was hot so cham girls went topless. Anyone who has seen viet girls knows just how distracting that would be. No wonder they had tits on the brain 24/7.<br />

Apart from the tít sculpture the cham also made some great temples. One of which was in model form in the museum. I am not sure if it is a 3d print or another method of construction. Either way it is impressive.<br />

All in all a fun morning spent looking at ancient tits and monsters.<br />
<br />
We also had a bit of a wander around and got some good stuff.<br />

Trippin in the anti tardis </h2>
<div>
All I can say is cattle class sucks. I would say more but some of my readers have real shit in their lives and don't need some dude jerking off to first world problems. </div>
<div>
The plane was called anti tardis due to the fact it is so much smaller on the inside than it looks on the outside. Next time I will knock over a bank and fly first if it kills me. One lucky nana got 3 seats in a row and spent the entire trip dozing comfortably as. She should buy a lottery ticket as she won international travel hands down, who knows when a winning streak that good will come to an end. </div>
<div>
Highlights of the flight was flying over mad max 2 country and flying out of sigon at night. </div>

The veins of light feeding the HCM mega city with life. Sigon goes on for as far as the eye can see. Stupid big. </div>
<div>
I also saw a few hind gunships on the pad at tan son nhat but I ain't doing stir in a viet clink for taking photos of them. Especially since I have just convinced the viet authorities I am such a nice bloke they never have to X-ray me. Yeah, I know I get away with everything. Somebody has to.</div>
<div>
The poor bastard that tried to push past me and through the deactivated X-ray got sent off to have his arse inspected by commie border guards for his troubles.<br />
Eventually we arrived at good ol danang after flight delays and some minor confronts with selfish rude fucks on the plane/airport.<br />
<br />
After being picked up by my agents bro at Da Nang we just stopped to get a few shots of the dragon bridge puffing fire and hit the sack to be compus for operation red fang the next day.<br />

<div>
Or to put it slightly less dramatically. The final bits of the trip are now all in order, </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My travelling companion arrived yesterday in the light aircraft with all girl crew. (Rock on sky girls!) Due to shitty crosswinds, headwinds and general wind it was a bit of a rough ride but the old crate made it down on one piece, so all is well. (As if the girls would not have got it down, they are sky girls ffs.)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We laid in some final supplies for her in the form of some nice walking shoes. We are boot wearing people normally, but the Asian climate makes boots a bit of a chore unless it is what we call the vietnamese workboot around here. Aka thongs. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Oh the looks one gets when one says to an American "Nah mate, I'm just going to wear my thongs into town today." </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
They don't think this </div>

Some sun leathered slab of muscle rocking about town in something barely containing the canastas. </div>
<div>

<div>
After my pal arrived and we laid in the final supplies, we began her immediate transition into holiday mode. If you are going a thousand miles an hour in everyday life you just can't hit the skids and slow down to my Lebowskian speed. Too much inertia for that. </div>

While my friend does not in any way work in beigestream society, (My pal is a maker of amazing gardens.) She does work awful hard. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I lent her my fitbit the last time I was up on the farm and she broke all the records on it in one go the cheeky lass. They have stayed unbroken ever since. On my best day I can get 2/3 of her 30,000 steps. Then I recall she put that on it in about 10 hours!</div>

The other bonus acclimating in 'The Cray' has is it is the Mos Eisley of Melbourne. When you live in the wilder wilds of this country and the nearest neighbour is a bit of a ways off (further than your local chemist ((drug store for my US readers)) and everyone looks the same....</div>

Posts about stuff will slow down as preparations for the expedition to Asia continue at a pace. Recently I have been laying in some more supplies.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;"> Namely some climatically sensible clothing that still allowed one to maintain a sense of well dressed style.....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2405/1979582419_e46a37da24_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2405/1979582419_e46a37da24_o.jpg" height="640" width="376" /></a></div>

....yet was light and portable and acceptable anywhere to ensure a minimum of luggage is required.<br />

<br />
In Asia this comes down to a few vital items of clothing.<br />
<br />
Very thin cotton t-shirts.<br />
Light long sleeve shirts<br />
shorts<br />
and a hat if you have a working brain and want to keep it sans heatstroke.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately when the local small shops didn't have acceptable 3/4 shorts for sale it meant a trip to Knifepoint Mall, our local megaplex.<br />
<br />
So let us talk about the mall for a sec.<br />
<br />
First off this most excellent song by 2Up covers the landscape of the Australian lower socioeconomic shopping mall culture....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Packs of over deodorized teen boys and muffin top girls swimming in a vast shoal of the beige people, all desperately trying to spend their way out of their lives. A self contained world of consumer terror set in the confines of a vast maze like and monolithic structure.<br />
<br />
Oh and lets not forget these blokes, they deserve a comment all of their own....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://static.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/shopping-instagram-miserable-men-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://static.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/shopping-instagram-miserable-men-5.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
If wearing smart casual and sandals didn't make you a complete trevor, waiting like a dog outside the front of the knickers store will seal the deal. If you are a man and you find yourself in this position. Buy yourself a big motorbike or huge gun or something like that as a penis enhancer. I bet those old sandal wearing fuckers have some fucking huge guns....<br />
<br />
Finally to the old, fat, shirtless guy in short shorts who was using the air conned mall as his personal jogging track... Seriously bro, what the fuck were you thinking! I know it's Knifepoint mall, but come on man that is NOT COOL!<br />
<br />
Anyways you get the picture. I hate it personally and only go there when I utterly have to like this time. Except it was the second time in two days. This is because I fucked up the first shopping mission and bought shorts that ended at the start of the knee.<br />
<br />
I felt like I was wearing Mens Can Can shorts. (Below - That is Warrick Kappa, head hgh kicker for the sydney swans men's chorus line (named after the swans of swan lake of course)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I could not even wear them in comfort in the privacy of my own home let alone abroad.<br />
<br />
Thus it was a return trek to knifepoint today. Every cloud has a silver lining though.<br />
<br />
Today I became the possessor of not one but two pairs of Omni pants, the most amazing pants ever made.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://thumbs4.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/mG16ZmoSfJD3RoSm94R9drg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://thumbs4.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/mG16ZmoSfJD3RoSm94R9drg.jpg" height="640" width="631" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The omni pant not only is made of sweat wicking plastic fibres that would melt if too close to Nanna's kerro heater, they also transform into bottom of the knee length shorts!<br />
<br />
It is like all the pants you will ever need in only ONE pant! This is the most 'mens shopping' friendly invention since the 7 day undies pack.<br />
<br />
God, imagine if you could get an entire Omnisuit of sweat wicking fabric. A one piece that transformed into everything from a t shirt and shorts to full length cold weather clothing.<br />
<br />
It would make shopping enjoyable. "I will have 3 omnisuits in the beige my good fellow" and off you go. Clothes shopping fucking sorted in under 5 minutes.<br />
<br />
In the meantime while we wait for the invention of the Omnisuit the packing must continue if it is to get done....<br />

Now straight up, I really want to take the train. Knowing that it has just been lunar new year. Common sense tells me, if it is essential to be on the train to reach the next hotel. Buying the tix on the day is a fuckwits errand of risk. </span></span></span></div>

Babelfish</h2>

<div>
Years ago in the 80's I saw the little animation of the babelfish on hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. I thought it was quite the coolest thing ever. A tiny little critter you stuck in your ear that converted any language into regular.<br />
<br />
Today I got one of my very own.<br />
<br />
For the great black obelisk was loaded up with the apps today. One of them is a vietnamese into regular and vice versa translation program including speech recognition.<br />
<br />
(Now this might be all passe to you but its all brand new to me so fuck off wit the jaded look there you young folk!)<br />
<br />
My mind is blown like it got dosed with acid. Suddenly without becoming any less stupid or putting in any real effort, I can talk to anyone in Vietnam. When I say any real effort, getting google play to work on the new phone number took an hour. I paid my dues people.<br />
<br />
Now most people would be busting a nut to use it for sensible things like "What platform does the train to hoi-an depart from good sir?" or "Hello cabbie, I would like to go to the jade panda hotel please."<br />
<br />
For me though I am living for the look I get when I po faced press the button and this utters forth in clear dulcet vietnamese tones<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16.0016px; line-height: 21.7622px;">"Nói một thứ tiếng thì không bao giờ đủ"</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">and watch the logic of their universe unravel as they try figure out how to respond to </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>

If Mad max was made in the early to mid 30's then these things would have got centre stage in any cecil b demille autogeddonist epic.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigkqa_osscSYNRHObfH7BFMYkgciDIRcbMOsupmERM_9x_5FznCCoOsGKF1ZAISuZjcYKPs_tcJItz78LyaBaUiJUJm6KRSNH0NG1cQwSzu25DxPKMLi6pqB436XV6aSVhwP77iY08228/s1600/car1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="408" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigkqa_osscSYNRHObfH7BFMYkgciDIRcbMOsupmERM_9x_5FznCCoOsGKF1ZAISuZjcYKPs_tcJItz78LyaBaUiJUJm6KRSNH0NG1cQwSzu25DxPKMLi6pqB436XV6aSVhwP77iY08228/s640/car1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I picked up three of them from <a href="http://www.eurekamin.com.au/" target="_blank">Eureka Miniatures</a> a few weeks ago and decided to start the building process. As the cars come with loads of variants mine will be slightly different from the stock image and will be further modified for my own uses.<br />
<br />
The cars are intended for <a href="http://arbm1933.blogspot.com.au/2015/02/welcome-to-right-bloody-mess.html" target="_blank">A right bloody mess</a> a background for a hypothetical civil war set in Australia in the 30's.<br />
<br />
This campaign setting is pretty exciting stuff as I feel it is a very solid attempt to bring some local flavour to the gaming scene and it will lead to Eureka producing some more awesome kit like the attack buggies in the near future.<br />
<br />
These cars would of course also fit any decent gentleman's pulp setting from the wilds of mongolia to the amazon jungles.<br />
<br />
Opening my bag of resin and metal bits I arrayed them out<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
A veritable model kits worth of awesome and a world of choice variants, Nice one Eureka Nic!<br />
<br />
Oh oh oh before I forget<br />
<br />
These photos are from the new phone, the very same photos that were trapped last night. Now I know you are thinking, something along the lines of this happened<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Anyways back on track and with more stunning cyber phone photos from the vast black obelisk.<br />
<br />
Let the building begin<br />

<br />
I have decided to place the running boards on mine. The fore machine gun in this shot is incorrectly attached. The rear guns were also later reattached. This kit rewards patience.<br />
<br />
Here is the fore gun in the correct position and the exhaust pipe attached. There is also the option of aircraft ike exhausts one of which can be seen in the above photo.<br />

<br />
Just waxing lyrical about my moby one more time, It beats the fuck out of my camera for nice close up clear photos. I am so happy with that function!<br />
<br />
Here is where I am up to in the build process. I want to give the front tires about 12 to 18 hours to harden up before continuing on otherwise it will all go to shit on me with a misplaced thumb for sure.<br />

I just realised I will be in the overseas when Melbourne's most awesome festival called Moomba goes off. As luck would have it I get back the day after the famed Birdman rally winds up too.</div>

Nothing is more awesome than birdman rally. The rules are simple. you have a big tall thing to jump off and the machine has to be person powered and home made. 99% of them crash and burn to everyone's delight.</div>

Then every now and then some batshit crazy guys machine actually flies, fuck me roman bro if that is not the most amazing thing you will ever see. </div>

Another bonus is Stevie Payne has just been crowned King of Moomba. Possibly the nicest person ever to make the aristocracy. </div>

Champion strapper, total ledge round the traps and all round cool cat. Stevie will bring a touch of class to this years event that was sadly lacking in last years King.</div>

Got a new moby yesterday. Decided to take pics with the new technology instead of using the camera. (remember those?)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now the photos are trapped on the phone because I don't know how to drive it. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This sucks because I spent all evening gluing my fingers together while building the new eureka pulp car, while taking those photos.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Oh well, I guess will I will master the little bastard in the morning.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It is a very mighty moby though. Once I can drive it I shall have much access to many apps which will put the cyber into my punk. I am very much hoping to be able to load a translation program onto it. Make life easy overseas. Be able to order a hovercraft full of eels in Vietnamese with confidence sort of deal.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It does have a fucking mighty sized screen too. I like the big screen. The last one was like working on a postage stamp.</div>
