Let ’em know I’m alive and well…..just don’t go there much anymore (no excuse).
You can let ’em know where to find me most of the time now if ya wanna.
I don’t build much these days – just don’t have the inclination or the “urge”. 🙁

much appreciated Tom…it was just pure fun…i thought of you much building this because of your relationship with Corman and 50’s hollywood

Bob. Here I am waiting at a train station, in a pretty foul mood (didn’t sleep well, very long day ahead) and then I opened this! You singlehandedly turned my day around.
I loved these old Aurora kits (King Kong, Frankenstein’s monster, the Wolf Man, the whole crew). The ‘Creature’ is my favourite, couldn’t say why, loved all of those ‘Friday night Creature Features’ as a kid.
This was a real blast from the past; innocent, happy, long summer days with friends and movies.
Cheers, Bob, and thanks.

Nice job on the Creature sire.
Reminds me of the Mother-in-law.

Ernie K. Doe! Another blast from the past! Bob, haven’t thought of that one in years. Before I even had one! Thanks! I even had hair!

Great looking “Creature,” Bob. I remember when the original models appeared.
bob mack said on April 12, 2018
yeah remember that rallye green metallic plastic in 1963…i’d have left it unpainted if it was that color…great memory
Greg Kittinger said on April 12, 2018
Nice paint work and highlighting! Looks just like I remembered…
bob mack said on April 12, 2018
thank’s greg…in revenge of the creature when he’s under water he looks like this tiger striped with dark gills but on the ground he’s different

awesome color…all he wanted was the girl but the zoo keepers at marine land hunted him down and chained him to the bottom of a swimming pool constantly electric prodding him and drugging him to boot in “revenge of the creature”
Bernard E. Hackett, Jr. said on April 12, 2018
This must be the first one I’ve seen built. Gets your attention, doesn’t he?
bob mack said on April 12, 2018
if he doesn’t get you his buddies will…i think Aurora kit did more for his cult following than the movie
