The Aurora Plastics Kit
1964 brought a few changes for the Aurora Longbox Monsters series. Until then, all kits had been based on popular monsters of roughly human proportion. The two new kits that year, Godzilla and King Kong broke that tradition, and were released in a scale other than the more or less standard 1/8. Godzilla was sculpted at roughly 1/200 scale, while Kong is 1/30.
Original Kit Issued: 1964-1968 as Catalog #465
Plastic: black/beige
Sculptor: attributed to Adam “Larry” Ehling
Box art: James Bama
The Pestilence Labs Updated Figure for Cult TV Man
Reference for a figure sculpt for a soon to be released resin figure upgrade. One of my buddies is releasing this figure as either a complete version or a fitted version. He already released an upgraded head for the kit. I am uploading my reference information, shots of the resin figure and my painting process to follow.
Issued: 2021
Beige resin
Sculptor: Joe Simon
Figure reference (colorized) of actress Fay Ray which I will be using as a painting reference. I have seen many colorized versions of stills from the film with either a green dress or a yellow one. I am choosing a green.
Kong reference as well (behind the scenes) of the stop motion puppets used in 1933
