MPC infantry on patrol near the atomic test site.





Radio operator give the all clear for the test to begin. He is in communication with the APC near the front. MPC jeep and ring hand figure on the right.






A view through the fence of the fireman APC and the atomic cannon. You can also see a GI on patrol. The Ideal Atomic Cannon is a great toy. It has a crank to raise the cannon. There is a crank to move the gun barrel in and out of battery. It also has a major spring in it that probably would fire a real atomic projectile.





Lonely patrols along the perimeter fence. Vital, if boring jobs. How many hours a year are spent with soldiers, police, prison guard, and security guards walking fence lines in a year? Atomic testing sites are heavily guarded to prevent unauthorized observation, or accidental injury or death.





MPC ring hand figure makes last minute checks of the atomic cannon before the shot. This is a big toy and has great play value.
