For Halloween, I decided to treat myself to a genuine Aurora monster model. The originals being out of my price range, I settled on a more recent reissue of Count Dracula. First produced by Aurora in 1976, and later in 1999 by Revell in their “Monsters of the Movies” series, this great 1/12th scale model features a nice dungeon floor, plus some little critters to keep the Count company.
Inspired by an email from Paul Adams, I added a Schliech toy Armadillo, to make the scene more reminiscent of the 1931 Universal film.

Thank you. It is just not a proper Dracula movie without an Armadillo. I love the way you have him on a lead - great fun.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great model, beautifully painted, as always.
And thank you, sir - the Armadillo really makes the scene! SFZ
DeleteWhat a model, well done Rob! Ol Drac never looked so darn good! Superbly gruesome!
ReplyDeleteThis was so much fun, I cannot even begin to describe it... SFZ
DeleteNice work! Those Aurora (or Aorta) monster moulds certainly had a long un-life of their own!
ReplyDeleteI think I took the Aurora Monsters for granted as a kid, although I had a few. Like everything, I thought they would last forever. Luckily, some of these did! SFZ
DeleteI bought this kit as a kid for $ 2.10 American, and left it unpainted, with the glow parts.Wish I still had it.Good job, I like vampires that are slightly green
ReplyDeleteI always painted over my Glow in the Dark models, because I could never get them to glow properly! SFZ
