I am a collector of top notch Warren publications series of the Famous Monsters of Filmland and my YT algorithims sent me here to this unbelievable collection. What a display!
❤ YOUR COLLECTION!!!! IT IS SOOOO COOOOL 2 👀 ACOLLECTION ALL OVER THE PLACE!!!! 👀'S FANTASTIC!! CAN'T GET ENOUGH!!! THANK YOU 4 SHARING!!! OH YHA, YOUR PAINTING IS JUCT PERFACT!!!!! THANK'S AGAIN!!!❤🙏🫶👍❤😂
I've enjoyed this. I'm presently getting back in touch with my inner child. I'm working on the old Aurora kits. I finished The Wolfman's Wagon and wish I could post a picture of it here. I'm presently putting paint to Frankenstein's Flivver. And as soon as Frank's Flivver is done, it's on to The Mummy's Chariot. Talk about getting in touch. There were some major problems with these models. And as a retired person, I'm encountering the same issues. But, I've got more patience now and am enjoying the challenges.
I had all of the Aurora Monster Kits when I was a kid, and have many of the re-issues since then. I also had most of the Monster Scenes Kits (with Dr. Deadly and The Pendulum), and a majority of the Prehistoric Scenes Kits. I had all of the Planet of the Apes models except for the Gorilla Soldier on Horseback. I had an assortment of dinosaur/caveman models from various companies. I still love to build/paint monster models, and my skills have improved vastly over the decades. I also had quite the collection of monster magazines when I was a kid, all lost through time, and I’m proud to be a current contributor (illustrations and articles) for Scary Monsters Magazine. I even wrote an article about building/painting monster kits that was published in Scary Monsters titled BE A MODEL CITIZEN!
Very very cool collection; brings back memories of when I was a kid and had all of the original Aurora box kits of the universal monsters. Though for Godzilla I had gotten him premade/pre-painted from some place. But yeah now that I remember: The hunchback: He had the long hair on the box but the short AQ hair on the actual model. The Phantom: I remember that scene with the prisoner holding the bars. I didn't glue his mask to his hand because I wanted it loose to also put on his face. I painted him flesh not green but that looks cool on yours. The Wolfman: the original box was the one with his face and hands glowing, not behind the tree. The Creature: It had no big background wall and just one lizard. Dracula: cape was weird to me with 2 pieces flowing over the front but that's how they made him. Jeckyl/Hyde: was the one with the table and stool lying on its side. The forgotten Prisoner reminded me more of Pirates of the Caribbean. I used the glow bones. I never saw Bride of Frankenstein, Invisible man or Dracula's daughter I don't think they were part of the first series. I remember most of the boxes being more square than tall rectangle. I would keep the boxes with the unused parts, but not in their plastic wrap covering. The model parts were either black or glow colored. I didn't like using other glow body parts because I wanted them fully painted so I just used some of the glowing scenery pieces like the skulls, rats, plants or branches and maybe a few of those mummy shrouds. Last one I got was the witch just to complete the set. I wasn't really into that one too much. I had that same Spock model too! Aiming his phaser at the 3-headed serpent. I didn't glue him down, I wanted him loose to be able to play with. From the prehistoric series I had the big green dinosaur, the sabertooth and the neanderthal man. I also had those Aurora planet of the apes kits of Zaius, Cornelius, and Ursus. Just saw him now, I had that Revell Rat Fink Sleazy Rider with a motorcycle too! Fink pieces in bright green plastic. I remember those monster scenes and Vampirella and Dr. Deadly but my neighbor friends had some of those. 1 model I had that I didn't see here was the Revell Peter Pan Pirate ship Jolly Roger (a tough build for a kid my age). Came in orange plastic parts that I never painted, just put the flag stickers on.
Hey Phil, my buddies and I talked with you at breakfast at the last Chiller. I want to connect with you. I texted the number on you Godzilla’s business card but didn’t hear back. If you see this please comment back. - Bob

What an incredible collection! Bravo! Would love to see these in person if you ever give tours, LOL. Even saw one of my pieces in there (the Aurora Hunchback backdrop) and have to wonder how you dust these things? I too would love to see the Phantom in styrene, but that would be a big project. The MOM Mirror for Jeckyl would be a must if you ever released it. Again, thanks for sharing your collection. The best video I have ever seen on you tube! Jim
Back in the day (1970's) I had the whole set of Aurora glow-in-the-dark monster diorama kits... They were pretty sweet, each kit had a piece of the monster or part of the diorama that would glow in the dark ! There was Frankenstein, Wolfman, The Mummy, The Creature of the Black Lagoon, Mad Doctor, and a couple others
Wow !!!.It's like seeing what an Aurora Model Museum would look like,had they had the forethought to do something like this,back in the day !.An amazing collection Phil !.Thanks for sharing this !.Well done !!!.
