Somewhere in the barrens of Scotland, Dr. Fearly is scheming to rid the world of joy by removing all Nitrous Oxide(Laughing gas) from the atmosphere with his wacky do-hicky thing-a-ma-jig. Now, before he could start, he had to find a place to set up shop where no one would look into what he was doing. Now, being pre-1940s, cheap houses are hard to come by, so he decided on an old "haunted" castle. This proved to be ideal because the ghost that was haunting the castle used to be a world renowned chemist and physicist. So, they schemed together and came up with what you see strapped on top of the castle. That guy on the motor cycle is just there for the show. As you can see my story is falling apart as I write this, so here's this MOC in four words.
Mad Scientist in Castle.
Builder's notes:
Yeah....
Didn't quite turn out the way I had hoped, but I figured I should post this before I tear it down to get the pieces to use in the MOC Olympics. Oh, well. I may have to revisit this, with a Little Inspector Clouseau thrown in.
Ciao
This truck covered in fire was just driving down the mountain like nothing was going on. Overheard: "Are you seeing that? Is that real?"

BACKSTORY: Well, that was a crazy burn! So much shit I never expected to do, at WickerMan Burn 2016!
- Damaged Carolyn's car on the way in so that it permanently squeaks, except it got better by the time we left
- Ate a tequila worm (so much more chewing than you would imagine!) when naked-goddess-bartender poured me one, randomly. (I had to check that it wasn't something from the woods)
- Watched fireworks so dangerously close that I needed first aid for a burned eyeball (could this be why the vision in that eye went bad this year?)
- Learned to weave. On a loom. And wove some. Took video of weaving.
- worried about this spleen issue I have that is starting to feel less like a pain, and more like an actual tumor that you can distinctly feel on one side (still hurting as of 2017, CT Scan found nothing)
- controlled huge flamethrowers with laserbeams & buttons
- fun stuff on top of a 20-ft wooden ziggurat art installation (Carolyn was too scared to go up!)
- Watched a firework fireball zoom past Carolyn's head (she didn't even flinch) and catch the ground on fire 1 foot from her feet
- Made out with both members of a couple (beards can be soft?)
- Bounced in a moon bounce
- Saw Carolyn fall off a bounce-house ramp, tumbling in mid air, as onlookers screamed (one massage later, she's fine)
- Played with propane bubbles (cover hand, stick in fire, watch self burn) with zero regard for my safety or even knowing what they were ("other people aren't dying when they do this, so i'll do this, whatever this is. no, i won't ask anybody any questions about it or learn anything safety-related")
- Treated 2nd degree cooking burn with actual aloe leaves someone bundled up, just in case. Only had to walk 20 feet from my camp! No relation to previous bullet point.
- Tried [REDACTED]
- Used logical deduction to guide a damsel in distress to her campsite that she could not find, even though I had never been there. (If you want to flatter me, make me feel like Aragorn. I also accept pints of cherry tomatoes & great conversation)
- Received tons of compliments about my hair & badass cartoon shirt (and about my brain) (but I get that a lot... it's the others I'm notso used to)
- Worried about Andrea in rehab. Did all kinds of crazy things to maintain connectivity to check up on her. A lotta good that did. RIP, Andrea.
- Learned to always great one specific person with "Hi, Clint!" (Her name is not Clint. This is how she prefers greetings.)
- Wore My Little Pony boxer-briefs around strangers
- Sent video from the middle of the woods with a phone that only works when plugged in (tricky)
- Met the creator of games I've played for 15 yrs, & found out that the vintage set of game pieces my aunt found me in a thrift store are so rare that he was re-telling people about our set... Even when we weren't even there. So honored! To tell the man who invented Fluxx that you had the original Fluxx back when that was the only Fluxx you could get was awesome, too.
- But to make a reference to a specific episode of 2 Stupid Dogs to the creator of Fluxx, and have him know it and repeat it back... Wow.
- Chastised by Channy for not knowing how to spell my own name on facebook, becuase she wanted pictoral proof of my story that did not believe -- that the deer shit that came out of the deer when my Bonneville was totalled (while driving back from Dirk's) had splattered onto my car in the shape of Pluto the Dog's face. I totally sent her that picture!
- Lost 1 of 2 cameras, resulting in our pictures being quite incomplete (gee, real Burnery of whoever found it to not bother giving it back. If I find someone else's camera, I guess this means I'll have to keep it to break even?)
- Learned I can consistently inhale an entire nitrous oxide cartridge in one lungful
- Randomly given 2 beers by someone, only to ask to see her face, and, after introductions, us all realizing we already know each other already and are FB friends already (wtf?! what are the odds?!)
Saw a truck covered in fire driving down the mountain like nothing was going on. Overheard: "Are you seeing that? Is that real?"
Phew? Did I get everything? I don't know! One night, I never saw my camp during the night time, at all.
colleagues deserted beddoes as his life slipped away. so much for playing with nitrous oxide, the lsd of its time.
1950s Vincent , amazing to think John is squeezing 180 BHP from a 1950s V twin
Epimetheus, 1,665cc Vincent dyno tested using Nitrous oxide, air operated auto gear change, 7,000rpm and 180bhp !
“Is this a torture chamber?" Roberto asked cautiously.
"This is a dental office," the receptionist explained.
As usual, the doors and the trunk (boot) of the car model can open. The can of nitrous oxide in the back is definitely not my usual cup of tea, though.
The ziggurat was a huge art project that is traveling from burn-to-burn for people to write on, and then it's eventually going to be burned as an effigy.
We actually made it to the burn this year! We didn't sleep through it.
Callan, Clint, Wolfie.

Freshly washed, vacuumed and ready for cruising. Definitely already missing the warm Summer days, like this one in July.
Lego Mad Max Fury Road
The super-turbocharged, nitrous-boosted 5-window deuce Coupe. This vehicle is every hotrodders dream and the perfect chariot for young Nux, a true believer and gun driver in the citadel Armada who puts the fun back in fundamental and whose failing flesh fetishes the fury and power of the V8 he hopes will lead him to Valhalla. Nux is the deliver of feather, the fan and the fanatic, a loyal servant and lethal savant and the car is his art, hope and heart. He has cast a totem of skull and mask on the crucifix quiver that titlts toward battle and wrought a steering wheel of doll head and cable that venerates his master, Immortan Joe. Nux’s true God is the engine and his church the car.
LP120 with umbrella camera right, 285HV camera left with diffuser, AB800 above for some rim.
Built a contraption that went from the hose into the bottom of the can, with holes drilled throughout.
Needless to say it was an interesting & wet experience.
1969 Myers Manx VW Beach Buggy, seen at the 2017 Brisbane Hot Rod Show.
The 2,332cc motor had twin 48mm carbs, with a Nitrous Oxide kit to give it an extra 100 HP kick.
The 'Team Flying Duck Theory' Honda VFR750 waiting its turn to be started up in the race paddock at the Kempton London Classic Bike Show. The Honda is heavily modified for drag racing, being supercharged and has nitrous oxide too!
Double spark-plug, massive turbo, 4-rotor Wankel engine. With nitrous and methanol on reserve.
Yes, I am insane.

The vehicle is powered by a rocket engine designed to use a rubber-based fuel called HTPB and liquid nitrous oxide as an oxidizer. It can rocket at more than three times the speed of sound — about 2,300 miles per hour — to more than 50 miles above ground. It is able to reach space as defined by the U.S. Air Force, NASA and the FAA, by going over 50 miles (80.5 km) above sea level. However, it is unable to go above the Karman line of 62.1 miles (100 km), defined as the space boundary by the FAI (Federation Aeronautique Internationale).
The rocket engine is manufactured by The Spaceship Company, a California-based company owned by Virgin Galactic.
With a wingspan of 141 ft (43 meters), the mothership, VMS Eve, carried the spaceplane to an altitude of around 50,000 ft (15,000 m), where it was released to fly into space under the thrust of its rocket engine.
[Note: Jeff Bezos' New Shepard spacecraft did go above the Karman line. It transported William Shatner to an altitude of 351,000 feet (about 66 miles up).]
Out at the farthest away pad, preparing the R10000 Hybrid. Once vertical, the nitrous oxide is loaded into the rocket up through the nozzle (controlled from remote pad ops).
This rocket uses a hybrid liquid-solid motor similar to that used by Virgin Galactic. The large liquid nitrous oxide tank comprises most of the rocket (the river part between the white sections) and the rubber propellant is in the fin can area.

Demolition works on a chemical plant situated in Perm Territory our company made in 2013. Federal engineering group "RAZMAX" is a trusted contractor for the redevelopment and recycling works all over Russian Federation. This project was a part of modernization campaign for the largest manufacturer of nitrous fertilizers in Russia - Uralchem.
I found a handful of these gas cartridges at the edge of the school playing field where my archery club shoots every Sunday morning. These are commonly filled with nitrous oxide (N2O, laughing gas), supposedly for use in making stable whipped cream. All I can say is that someone must've been whipping a lot of cream out on the school playing fields! I have kept them for possible use in future steampunk projects.
