Model X, West Auckland
Held every year the Model X show is a true extravanganza of hobbyists and die-cast mania. Five dollars at the door allows the vistor access to a dream world where everything is really small.

Maybe tomorrow, I’ll want settle down, Until tomorrow, I’ll just keep moving on. Down this road, that never seems to end, Where new adventure, lies just around the bend. ...

Cinéma de L'homme
There’s a great scene in Predator when Mac (Bill Duke) wrenches a gatling-gun (affectionately named Painless) off fallen comrade Blain (Jesse Ventura) and unloads 400 rounds per second into a patch of jungle.
