Rob's Mars 2000 Cereal Premiums


Woodsy

Here are two pix which may be of interest. They are tiny model kits, a breakfast cereal premium, issued sometime in the 1970s. 

I purchased them at a flea market in the 1990s, and know nothing else about them. They are some sort of space vehicles, however, and I do plan on "building" and painting them one day. 

I wonder if the designs are reminiscent of anything in the Project Sword, Space-X canon? These are small – probably a little over one inch long when finished!!

  1. Ive still got the top vehicle, well the body anyway. I think it was from a set of race cars in Kelloggs Sugar Smacks. Probably about 1973. Not sure about the crawler.

    2. There's a nice piccy of Rob's painted version of the top vehicle coming to MC soon Bill. It looks great. You've done well to keep hold of yours since 1973!
