I was browsing around for models of the rovers and found this:
http://www.modelenium.co.uk/models/ModelDetail.asp?PC=H4601  Only 20 £ and it is the perfect gadget for us MER fanatics

Helen says that mine was dispatched the very same day she ordered it. So close to Christmas that's amazing. I expect they'll be off over Christmas New/Year, but they'll be able to sort you out in the new year.
I'm quite tempted to actually go nuts on mine, do lots of things to it, like paint some of the cabling at the base of the PMA, ditto the HGA gimble, and perhaps chrome up the wheels a little. Is any else wondering where their Left Pancam is by the way? Mine's seemingly missing  Doug |
