Carts Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 A few companies have been reissuing the old Aurora Monster model kits and in a fit of near terminal nostalgia I have picked up these three, which funnily enough I never actually had as a kid. Atlantis King Kong,a film best summed up with the immortal review "Big Monkey die, everybody cry" Atlantis Godzilla Moebius Dr Jekyll as Mr Hyde Picked up a few resin replacement parts for Kong and Dr J. Might need a few fillings in the old gnashers Couldn't resist having a glow shot of Godzilla. Build up Work on Kong, the resin replacements take this kit to another level Added a spare Prehistoric scenes Tree from the Swamp kit I had to the base A fair bit of filling\retexturing required on Kong.

Carts Posted January 11, 2022 Author Share Posted January 11, 2022 Built up a back wall for the Dr J kit,used distressed wrapping paper for the wallpaper as I felt it had a nice Victorian feel to it. Nearly done with the three kits now. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Rose Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Love these old kits! Never made the king kong or jekyl and hyde, but I built and painted the godzilla many moons ago (pretty sure it was when moebius were were doing them). That wrapping paper wallpaper looks fantastic on and really fits well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim R-T-C Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Just seen this thread, superb work - the Hyde set definitely has Hammer Horror vibes with that wall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteraven2001 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 You may have sold a Kong kit, one I've never been that interested in. That B&W shot looks like a film still! The head really does take it to another level! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
