![]() ![]() The Sino-Vietnamese War is known by various names in Chinese and Vietnamese. Although unable to deter Vietnam from ousting Pol Pot from Cambodia, China demonstrated that the Soviet Union, its Cold War communist adversary, was unable to protect its Vietnamese ally. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Sino-Vietnamese border was finalized. The conflict had a lasting impact on the relationship between China and Vietnam, and diplomatic relations between the two countries were not fully restored until 1991. However, China's operation at least successfully forced Vietnam to withdraw some units, namely the 2nd Corps, from the invasion forces of Cambodia to reinforce the defense of Hanoi. However, Vietnam continued to occupy Cambodia until 1989, which means that China did not achieve its goal of dissuading Vietnam from involvement in Cambodia. Chinese troops then withdrew from Vietnam. On 6 March of that year, China declared that the "gate to Hanoi" had been opened and that its punitive mission had been accomplished. In February 1979, Chinese forces launched a surprise invasion of northern Vietnam and quickly captured several cities near the border. The conflict lasted for about a month, with China withdrawing its troops in March 1979. China launched an offensive in response to Vietnam's invasion and occupation of Cambodia in 1978, which ended the rule of the Chinese-backed Khmer Rouge. The Sino-Vietnamese War (also known by other names) was a brief conflict that occurred in early 1979 between China and Vietnam.

Maybe the stories don’t change much from war to war. and becomes the show’s regular day and time slot - is obvious early on. The outcome of Wednesday night’s episode - which airs 10 to 11 p.m. Somehow you know before being told that a shell-shocked young soldier in tonight’s episode is - all together now - 19 years old. “It used to be one, fine, sweet war,” a grunt says.Ĭhina Beach does indulge in some predictable story-telling and stereotypes. The light at the end of the tunnel turns out to be a locomotive. Judging by the use of Aretha Franklin’s “A Natural Woman” and certain Mamas and Papas music on the sound track, the time is about 1968. McMurphy, the quiet cynic, and Laurette, the boisterous babe, form a wonderful odd-couple bond.Īmong the other notable characters is a resident hooker who says her way of “honoring” her country is to honor Master Charge and American Express and a black man in charge of the body bags who talks to his corpses - “You guys don’t care about color do you?” - and worries that formaldehyde is turning his hands white. China Beach is the story of the war as seen through the eyes and experiences of three of those women - a war-weary nurse (Delany), a leather- lunged entertainer (Chloe Webb) and a naive Red Cross volunteer (Nan Woods) from Iowa who’s come to find her missing-in-action brother.ĭelany (so good in the short-lived NBC sitcom Sweet Surrender) and Webb (Nancy in the movie Sid and Nancy) are both terrific.

Dan and I have spoken about ideas for it for about 5 years so a long wait. It is an environment and I am just about as excited for it as for Treebeard - well nearly. So yeah, as you all remember how excited I was for that SDCC reveal, I was in on that one.Īnd……… much the same as with Thranduil on Throne for my next ‘Dont stop talking about it till they make it’ project. They decided to make it larger and hit the true 1/6 size. When they first made it, it was a few inches shorter than the final product. You really have to listen carefully when he gets on a roll cause there is always little hints dropped accidentally or perhaps he just loves to see the curious looks on people’s faces as they try to work out what the underlying meaning is.Īnyway, thankfully we got our Treebeard everyone. His comment “you might not regret that in a couple of years anyway”. I didn’t want to risk damaging it so left it at home. But when I went to bring it I remembered how the bust doesn’t separate from the base. A few years ago when he spoke about Treebeard, I mentioned how I was going to bring the bust for him to sign. Last time I was there he gave me a pencil drawing of an Ent wife. So nice of him and he is the ultimate gentleman. If he asks what I’d like him to draw beside his sig - I always say an Ent. I have numerous books that Dan has signed and a signed poster he sent me for xmas once with an ent drawn on it. Anyway… I love love love the guard and the antlers on that throne have got to be seen to be believed.Īs for Treebeard - Dan knows I love Ents. I was invited over to give an opinion on it when they had a prototype and I regret not going now. But I can’t claim anything on the design or the size. I continued to push it after they released Thror on Throne. Yes I was responsible for Thranduil on Throne. They also like to hear my ideas and ‘pick my old timer collector brain’. Yes, we have had a few dinners and they do love my enthusiasm for their ideas. You may all be crediting me with a bit too much influence with the Weta boys. But overall, a fair place to buy collectibles, even if it’s easier to buy them from other outlets than TNC’s own website.Lol. Repair/customer service options are also very limited for discontinued items you might own, which is frustrating as natural wear and tear occurs over time. What I wish most is that they’d bring back collectibles from their back-catalogue, or offer them on special order they used to have some very impressive pieces which I wish I had another chance to pick up. ![]() Even so, it does not feel secure to give credit card details over the phone in the present day. There isn’t much international flexibility if you’d like to order US to UK, or UK to Europe, etc., but they may be able to arrange it for you via phone. Gratefully he remembered his pleases and thank yous, even if he did hang up before waiting for me to reply after I asked to cancel my (time consuming) phone line order until a later date. ![]() You have to call the customer service number to use a gift certificate/coupon, and the customer service staff member I spoke with frankly sounded half-asleep and very blunt. Hopefully they’ll modernise the website (e.g., easier voucher use) in the near future. I’m glad they’ve expanded into physical stores and more mainstream online platforms over the last few years, but they still seem over-reliant on phone lines and traditional catalog shopping. Product quality is usually high, but in the USA their website and processes are very outdated. I’ve been shopping with The Noble Collection for years from both the UK and USA. Otherwise, in summary, I would 100% recommend shopping with Noble Collection (and I’m referring to the UK site). One other reason I would take away a star (or maybe call it 4.5 stars if I could), is because a number of items are frequently out of stock there is not much communication in terms of things like when to expect stock (which would be helpful). The *only* reason why I haven’t given them 5 stars is because the Firebolt did not come with instructions - it would have been super helpful to have even just a small 1 pager, explaining putting the Firebolt together and the mount. I recently got a Harry Potter Firebolt replica - and I love it! It’s fab and just looks amazing! Came promptly and well packaged too. If I’ve ever had issues - which there haven’t been many of - customer service has always been perfect and helpful. I have purchased many items from the Noble Collection, and I would say it has always been a smooth process with the items being of a great quality.

He was introduced to Queen Victoria by her uncle, Leopold King of the Belgians. Born in Menzenschwand, Germany, he settled in Paris in 1834.

But here you can see we are planning to tile the kitchen and dining room and hallways, and eventually lay wood in the living room. But you'll get the gist.įirst of all, I didn't detail the dining room and living room with window and furniture. It is fun and sometimes a little frustrating! My drawings aren't perfect-when downloading cabinets (from the 3-D warehouse where you can find just about anything) I couldn't always find the perfect cabinet sizes (most notably the oven cabinet is too short in my drawing). I made my drawings in Google SketchUp (free!) and it took me a solid day of watching tutorial videos to figure out how to do it. ![]() It wasn't without a lot of time and effort, however. I met with 3 different kitchen designers to price cabinets and all three told me I made their job much easier! I even went as far as to decide what I would put in every drawer and cupboard. (I'm a control freak!) When meeting with cabinet people I needed to have good solid measurements anyway, so decided to make my own drawings. It would sure be nice if they'd add the ability to just remove the stiles.When it came to deciding on a kitchen layout, I just couldn't leave it to the kitchen designers. Still probably faster than making 5 weird cabinets that all have to play nice together. To fix this you have to go to the Front/Sides/Back panel, select the Opening, click the Shelves Specify button, set it to Manual, add an additional Shelf, and set it's Spacing From Previous to 0. The big issue with this one though is that the face edge of the bottom separation uses the box material, so it looks like a 0" surface. Of course this one only really works well if there's cabinets on either side, like in OPs photo. Option 3: Same as Option 1, but set the Cabinet material to "Opening (No Material)", Custom Back set to Panel - Inset One 21"x21 in the center, Right or Left set to none, depending on which way it's facing. Two 3" on the inside of the 12", their noses overlapping, both Left and Right side set to None - this is purely to create the full toe kick. Two 12" on the left and right with Right and Left sides respectively, set to None. All set to Framed / 0" Separation as well. Option 2: This looks the best but took 5-yes, five-cabinets. The problem with this is that chief leaves a 0" thick surface on the main face of the cabinet that you can't get rid of. Separation: 0".ĭelete Door/Drawer to leave single Opening.
