The Forgotten Prisoner of Castel-Mare

In this video I build the classic Aurora model kit, "The Forgotten Prisoner of Castel-Mare"the model went together great and I enjoyed building it. I take you through the complete build, then add a some simple LED lighting, and some other fun details to make it a really enjoyable nostalgic model build.
Thanks for watching, Bill

Great job pimping this vintage kit Bill,and the 70's funk bgm is amazing! 👍

[@ScaleModelCraft]

Thanks John, It was as much fun as it looks. That track right!! No joke, I was going to narrate the whole thing but I found the track and couldn't talk over it!!! Take Care, Bill

This is a great model kit from my childhood, and I had a great time building it again as an adult, (although thats questionable...) I hope you like it and look forward to hearing what you think. Take Care, Bill

Great looking kit! One of the best versions I've seen.

[@ScaleModelCraft]

Thanks Zeus!!! I had a great time building it, especially since I did it when I was a kid and it was one of my favorites. Take Care, Bill

Something different today Bill ! Love this theme .

[@ScaleModelCraft]

Thanks Robert!! It is such an iconic kit, I have a few of them, (Frankenstein, Wolfman, and the creature from the black lagoon) and really enjoy building them as I remember building them when I was around 10 or 11. I dont remember painting any of them, but sure had fun!!! I had the big Model Show this past weekend and when it came to getting a video out I just didn't have the gumption to edit any of that footage, so I edited this footage from when I built it in 2021. Take Care, Bill

Very atmospheric (Brrr!😳🥴 ) and very nicely done, nice touch with the little rocks, the rats and with the texture of the shirt... 👍👍

[@ScaleModelCraft]

Thanks Phil!!! It was a fun shorter build than my regular ones. Take care, Bill

I've got that very model on the corner of my work bench. I love your ideas. Like the spine and back ribs. Texturing the cloth. Will do my best to build mine as well. Thank you for sharing.

[@ScaleModelCraft]

Thanks Scott, it is super fun to build!! I’d love to see your progress!! Take care, bill

I built a lot of the old Aurora Universal monster kits (the ones with the glow in the dark heads and hands) when I was a kid and I can remember seeing that kit in the store but it wasn't one that I ended up with. I like what you did to it without changing the old school vibe. I sure wish I had all those old kits now but like a lot of us they ended up in the trash. A few years ago my brother gave me one of the Monogram reissue Dracula kits and I had a great time building it. The Monogram reissue kits don't have the glow in the dark parts. Moebius Models has a few of them available again I think.

Hi Samuel, it's such a fun kit, I also built it as a kid but then it had "Adventures" and never made it out of my childhood. I have an affinity for these kits even if I dont build them often, and built "The Creature" (from the black lagoon) as this is my personal favorite monster movie from the genre. A couple years later I built the Frankenstein, which I have still not finished, but these are distractions from my preferred builds. I still have a 1/12 scale Frankenstein, the wolf man, and another swimming version of the Creature from the black lagoon that will get built someday when I need a break. Take Care Samuel

[@scalestuff1066]

looks great nice work

[@ScaleModelCraft]

Thanks Scale Stuff!!!

[@johneubank8567]

Great job on this. May I ask, where did you find the chain ?

[@markdoremus7294]

Neat build Bill. Pink insulation for the backing and base, but what do you use for the stand? Some sort of craft plywood?

[@ScaleModelCraft]

Thanks Mark!! Yeah it's a thin 1/8" plywood I got at Hobbytown. Really nice to work with, cuts great with a sharp knife and straight edge. The rounded pieces were poplar dowel I think.
Take Care, Bill

[@snoopydog3328]

Is this a movie monster?

[@ScaleModelCraft]

Hi Snoopydog!!! I dont think so, It was part of the monster series from Aurora, bit I dont remember any movie it was specifically based on. Thanks for the question, Take Care, Bill
