MARTIAN EXPLORATION VEHICLE FROM PLANET REPLICAS



Here are a few photos I’ve taken of the exclusive Martian Exploration Vehicle made by Planet Replicas and only available from the Official Gerry Anderson Store.



I'm a sucker for all things Zero X so I had to add this to the collection. At £34.99 plus postage it's a tidy sum for what's essentially a piece of shaped and painted resin, but as it's a limited run and it is Zero X! Who am I kidding,let's be honest it is a bit dear for what you get. 


As you can see it’s based on the MEV seen briefly in the first episode of Captain Scarlet and The Mysterons, and carries a fair amount of detail.

This hand painted small resin model has a got a limited run of 1000. Its size is approximately 60 mm x 46 mm x 31mm, so it fits in nicely with any Konami model collection.


Here’s a size comparison with the MEV that comes with Aoshima Zero X Captain Scarlet version.


It comes with a plastic display case and an attractive slip cover.

  2. Great pictures, I like your martian landscape, like the movie and unlike the Viking images!

    1. Thanks Kevin. Oh yes, I prefer to try and do the images as it was in the TV series and try and capture the original feel.The space backgound gives a more alien and dramatic look to me. suppose it could be seen as nighttime on Mars. It might be interesting to try a pink background at some point just to see what it looks like.
