I've blogged about Mexican R and L cereal space premiums before here for example. The regular R and L premium websites don't appear to cover them.
As I've just got hold of the Mexican Nova model I thought I'd look at them again.
Basically my gut feeling is that these Mexican models were largely inspired by Ed Valigursky's prototype SpaceX and SWORD art.
See what I mean in this schematic that I've done comparing models and paintings.
I can't find any images of the model buildings, bottom left, actually built up so here are my two sketches of what they might look like.
Interestingly the Exploration Module appears in the Project SWORD Moon Base Set illustration top right.
Another Mexican model is this Saturn V with base.
which built up looks like this.
and to sign off here's Bill's superb job on his Mexican Booster, which you can read more about here.
Has anyone else got any of these Mexican cereal models?
I don't have any Woodsy. But now that I've read this, I think they'd make nice collection.
ReplyDeleteThey would Tony. Just wish I could find out who made/makes them in Mexico!
DeleteI see these occasionally on eBay but they tend to be pricey. surprisingly so many of the Mexican toys are pricey
