RACCS Spy Probe Dual Carrier System

My latest project with Cotswold Collectibles: RACCS Spy Probe Dual Carrier System.

This one reprises the Surveillance Probe I designed for Cotswold as my first project with them: Deluxe Midnite Mission set.

This time Greg asked for a military colored drone for the new military-themed Cybernetic Explorers and other new outfits he was planning. Add to that an arctic rendition, both dockable to a new RACCS Component: The Dual Carrier System.

These spy probes fit two to a unit, and they snap beautifully in place with snap tabs.

The control cuff I designed is slightly different than the one pictured.

The actual cuff has a separate joystick pad, and screen. The screen is one of my designs as well.

THE SET

The set consists of the Dual Carriage Unit, which snaps to the RACCS platform, one Military drone, one Arctic drone, and one control cuff. (Pictured incorrectly here. See above.)raccs-spy-probe-set-wrong-cuff-01

Here, Joe prepares to deploy the military drone.raccs-spy-probe-stowage-proper

He sets it up on the RACCS for launchraccs-spy-probe-deploying-01

And with a touch, the drone’s anti-gravity repulsors rev up.

BLUEPRINT

Again, I created a blueprint/instruction sheet for this set:

CONSTRUCTION

Here you can see a number of the parts that made up the drones, before cleanup. Just as they appear coming off the 3D printers.

After some cleanup and construction, the military drones are under way:
