Monster Models on the Loose!

[Earth 2 Chris]

Lock up your children! My son and I took our Aurora reissue model kits out for a Halloween photo. Nothing fancy, but I thought it made for a fun pic.



We finished up the Wolfman just a week or so ago. We have The Creature next, thanks to our own Rob (Godzilla).

They look fantastic! Terrific paint jobs. It's also heart warming to realize those kits have been entertaining kids since the 60s. Wish more classic toys were kept in production so new generations of kids could enjoy them.

Those are fantastic Chris! I think it's great you and your son get to share the fun of building and painting those together.
I still remember my first monster model...it was the Monogram reissue of the Mummy, and my dad helped me paint it with those old glossy enamels at the kitchen table.
You guys did a great job...thanks for sharing!

Beautiful! I always love seeing different paint jobs!

[HumanWolfman]

Excellent!!! I built them so many times as a kid! They all look great!

[Earth 2 Chris]

Thanks guys! It's been a lot of fun. We've went in our own direction a few times (the green faced Kharis, for instance), but we're both big fans of the Universal monsters, so this is a neat way for us to share that.

Brian actually gave me the idea, posting pics of the models him and his kids have worked on. It's definitely something the kids will remember doing with their old man.

Cool! We took a break from kits this year and painted the marx monster figures.

[Earth 2 Chris]

^Great idea! That would be a good avenue to go when the cheap monster models dry up. Post some pics...I'd love to see them!

Super! You can't go wrong w/ the Universal classics for Halloween! I'll bet you son had fun w/ those!

^PICS!!! We need pics!

Heh, here they are, as you can see Frankenstein had been doing some dry wall work earlier in the day. My daughter's patient take on the wolfman impressed me, my son rushes everything (he inherited that) so the Creature was perfect for him.

Auroras and marx are both chock fullof awesome!
