The 60 mm Cold War Continues


Now that the secret bomb sight has been recovered, the Atomic Bomb research team can continue with their scientific duties. Atomic bombs must be safe, except when the military wants them to detonate. The must travel in planes, and artillery, and over roads and in ships at sea. They must withstand vibrations, sudden shocks, static electricity, and even plane crashes without either detonating or malfunctioning.


The recovery team returns to their deep underground facility. The hallways are so long the other end actually disappears in the darkness.


This type of facility requires a security force that is heavily armed. Many of these same men were part of the team that recovered the bomb sight. Constant vigilance in called for in the game of Cold War cat and mouse.


The scientists return to their consoles to resume their work. The underground facility is kept in low light so that the technicians can better view the blinky lights of their computers.



Many of the uniforms are color coded. The blue are Navy or Air Force security personnel or scientists. The chartreuse are medical personnel. The bright color alerts others to get out of their way as the respond to medical emergencies.

Secret underground facilities were located all over the United States to reduce their vulnerability in the event of a surprise atomic attack.
MPC made a variety of different kinds of ring hand figures. These are some of the military style figures. They often came with silver weapons and accessories but other colors are around too. I often use weapons and bits from Marx and other companies too. Stay tuned for more updates.
