Annual Halloween Model project: The Creature!

[Earth 2 Chris]

Our own Brian inspired me and the boy to work on a model kit each year for Halloween. We've done Frankenstein, Dracula, The Mummy and the Wolfman, and now...The Creature from the Black Lagoon!

The Creech's colors vary wildly on products, but I went mostly by actual color pics of the original suit from Life archive photos. I noticed the Gillman had a goldfish-like sheen to him, so we went to town drybrushing it on.

Thanks to our own Rob, aka Godzilla for the kit! We had a lot of fun working on it!

Great job! I NEVER tire of seeing other paint ups on the classic Auroras.

That looks great! I started some Shogun Warrior models with my kids, but we're not done yet. October was crazy busy.

Awesome sauce, due to my travel schedule, we didn't get to a model this year. Nice to see the Franklins kept the tradition alive!

Beautiful! I always love seeing Aurora monsters!

Thanks guys. Andrew now has a bookshelf literally full of these monsters. It's a neat sight. I'll take a pic when I get the chance.

That's just good parenting done right.

You never know when an Aurora model might save your life.

You know, I've never seen Salem's Lot. I REALLY need to find this.
