Dying of pig flu is a lark

Oh yes After I finnaly got off holiday last week I essentialy have been feelign like crap and Diagnosed with Swine Flu so this week ill mostly be sitting on my arse job hunting. thats right Pizza Hut im gonna leave you, leave you like a used tissues.

But anyway London Expo was Fantastic, met up with some old friends made some new ones and got engaged.

Yes Me and miss Kylie Smith have taken the plunge and decided to get married ... when we have the money ... in 2 years ... OH GOD HELP ME.

But anyway I got to have a good look at LEft for Dead 2 and Star Trek Online. I am now looking forward to STO after playign through the demo mission. Space combat is easy to play through as it feels Like playing Star Fleet Command and thee land based combat feels like I am playing City of Heroes.

Ok for the purchases. I managed to get a good hall of Gunpla.

• 1/100 Regen Guel Gundam
• 1/144 HG FA-78-3 Full Armour Gundam 7th
• 1/100 RXR-44 Guntank

Now The Guntank is a really cool 1/100 because its a Gundam F-91 kit the Guntank is a TINY 1/100 scale kit in comparison to your average 1/100 Gundam. For example here is a picture of the Regen Duel with the Guntank. So awesome. my Shin Musha Gundam (once its finnished).
These two shall have pride of place next to my Ver Ka Ball and and My Shin Musha Gundam (once it is completed).
Me and Kylie also had a Chibis drawn of us to celebrate the day. Also thanks once more to Luchia for the Lovely bottle of wine she brought us as a Engagement present.

So yeah as we know it wouldnt be my blog without me having a good rant. this rant goes out to the organisers of the MCM London Expo. WHAT THE HELL was going on Saturday. Seriously Saturday was essentially chaos. Saturday was big I belive this year they had use of an extra hall the place was crammed it was hard to walk and get to stalls. But if the organisers knew this WHY THE CRAP did they not have a larger entrance or a second Entrance. Normally after your in you can go out and get back in a flash. This year nope the que to get back in (yes a que to get back in) was so huge it was going right down the food courts in the Excel centre Fortunately me and Kylie que jumped or we would have been waiting a long time. Also They changed the hand stamps to uv ones. We were all worried that we had rubbed em off. Thank Thamar that Sunday was quiet. Next day.

Right think thats where I shall leave thuis blog as I gotta bring you back up to speed on our IK campaign events. Later days folks.

The Moible suit Gundam the 17th Reconisance team.

So yeah Before I got back to work I just came up with this idea. Last night I finished building my new Gunpla. At the London Expo this year I picked up the Chars rick-Dom vs Amuros Gundam unit 3 kit. Its a great kit for the price and you get 2 MS in a alternate colour scheme so hey cant complain.

Then I was taking photos of the RX78-3 and the nifty little core fighter you get with it. Then it struck me. In the picture is the RX-78 [G]'s (the one poking its head out behind the Grey one) backpack looks big enough to hold the core fighter when it folds up with some room to spare. I measured it up and it did . Ideas started to buzz in my head.

The Ground combat Gundam (RX-78 [G] one) is seen through the 08th team (the series its in) on patrol in the jungle etc and the team is normally carrying those packs with extra equipment. They've got a hover tank what wires round the comms and has the sonar to check for the enemy on the ground etc. But what if they were given a aerial recognisance unit to go with them.

One what fits in a pack like say a core fighter. This now gives them a little bit more of a tactical advantage able to attack the enemy from the air and from the ground seems like a grand plan. SO I began to work out how this would work essentially. They would need a spare pilot able to jump in at a moments notice. So a spare pilot would be needed. A special compartment could be made for him to be stored in in the container as its large enough for a small compartment above a compacted core fighter.

They'd need a way to get it out and ready the packs are normally seen been put down on the ground before gear is taken out. prehaps if it had a lowering mechanism inside the pack what lowered it and transformed it into its fighter mode. It would have to get out of the pack and have some clear gorund to take off. Or prehaps a emergency launch system from the pack if there wasn't room. Not enough for a runway but enough to get it in the air.

So now I got an idea for a story about a Recognisance team during the one year war. Think ill write a story about the 17th Mobil suit team also known as the 1st Reconnaissance team and there battle with a team of elite zeonic forces. Going to fun on the bun.
