MPC Martian Partrol
Finally, I scored. Took a chance on a misc lot of MPC kit parts on EBay. It was hard to tell what was included.
Ended up with: 1 complete Martian Patrol 2 extra saucers 1 complete Microsonde 3 1 complete Flat Cat An extra pod for the Flat Cat And some misc parts. Martian Patrol boxes (2) are in rough shape, as is the Microsonde 3’s box. But I don’t care, I’m going to build them. I already have several versions of the Flat Cat and a built Microsonde, but there is always room for one more. Getting close to a complete MPC collection (excluding the RTF ones. They just don’t hold any interest for me). |
So that is who I was bidding against. Sorry to run it up on you, but you wanted it more than me. It looked interesting!

I really wanted those stupid styrofoam saucers :)

I still launch my Martian Patrol on occasion.
Here's video by Jimmy Yawn, scroll all the way down to the bottom: http://nefar.net/gallery/2016-05/index.html Here's the build from finish to start: http://nefar.net/gallery/2016-05/index.html The pic below shows a good CATO from a very old Quest C6-3 engine. No damage to the rocket or saucers, it blew through the top clean. Roger Smith got the picture. |

Scrambled eggs! I still have the Quest C6-3 you gave me that came from the same package of motors. Eventually I will try it in a disposable rocket with lots of cameras pointing at it. -- Roger |

Hmm. Looks like a classic Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator malfunction. It is often confused with the Uranium PU-36 Explosive Space Modulator, but there is a distinct difference in the color and shape of the deflagration. . |
I always stick with EEEEludium PEW-36 Explosive Spayce Moddyoolayytores.
They have a bigger bang. |
Where's the Ka-BOOM, there's supposed to be an Earth shattering Ka-Boom?

I always though it was "Eludium" as it in "eludes detection"... sorta like "unobtanium" with cannot be obtained... Later! OL J R :) |
