Arthur "Bluey" Green (AKA "Aqua" Green) from Uptagumbumbta, a small cattle station just back of Bourke (about three miles as the crow flies from the Black Stump) was a close personal friend of the Good Herr Doktor Von Humbrol during his days in Old Sydney Town in the early 1930's*. Bluey was reputed to be one of the crack select pilots chosen to fly the Se5adb fortuitously mentioned on another thread about Se5a's recently here on The Aerodrome.

Anyway, during the Good Herr Doktor's sojourn in Sydney in his bedsit at 239 Darlinghurst Rd, Kings Cross, he and Bluey spent many happy hours modeling together. However, Bluey was an impatient type and was always disatisfied with glue drying times. Unbeknownst to the Good Herr Doktor, Bluey began experiementing with various substances to make his glue dry faster. Other this time he saw less and less of Von Humbrol.

One day the Good Herr Doktor ran into Bluey down the Cross near one of Sydney Vice Queen, Tilly Devine's evil establishments. Bluey looked terrible. All he could tell the Good Herr Doktor was that he had found the perfect accellerant - he kept muttering about "Snow, Luverly Snow" doing the job for him like nothing else.

Afterwards The Good Herr Doktor did some investigating and found that Bluey had been using cocaine as an accellerant all that time and had got himself a nasty addiction. Worse still, he found that Bluey owed Tilly a lot of cash, andhad Guido "The Razor" Huma after him too.

The Good Herr Doktor thought fast...he had Bluey shipped off to Uncle Gunze Sankyo's establishment for a cure. Then he confronted Tilly and got the debt wiped by building her a 1/32 model of the new Sydney Harbour Bridge made entirely out of used shotgun shells in the back yard of one of her bawdy houses in Darlinghurst. he found out from Tilly that the lady of ill repute who sold the snow to Bluey was a mysterious recent English immigrant known as "Busty Dymphna". The Good Herr Doktor confronted her and recognising her immediately as his old nemesis, had her run out of town by Big George Smith, a shady modeler known mainly for his deadly extra sharp No 11 Exactos.

Shortly after this The Good Herr Doktor took a tramp steamer to Venice and never saw Bluey again. It is rumoured that after his cure, Bluey became a well known IPMS judge for many years. "Busty" Dymphna's name became legion.

The moral of this story is keep away from accelllerants - they harm your health, hurt your nose and give you a weak joint anyway.

All the Best
