The forgotten Prisoner GID kit was the 1969 square box issue, so that would have made me about 12 years old at the time. I was surprised at the reasonably good paint job I'd done, my friends were always better than me! (-Ha Ha! They never got to work on Star Wars!) I distinctly remember painting the ends of the Humerus bones with Lightning Bug Glow Juice because the front legs piece wasn't moulded in GID plastic!
I had the long box basic set. I was intrigued later when I discovered Aurora had also issued a bigger version I'd never seen. It had an extra rock base and the Chariot (Although it wasn't to the correct scale). It took a very long time for Polar Lights to issue a proper Chariot kit!
No, but I wish I had. Those are great old classic Aurora kits. Nice paint jobs.

Always wanted the LIS "Giant" diorama, but somehow it always eluded me. What a great kit that must have been!
