If Aurora would have kept on making monster models, I'm sure they would have made a version of this, one of the creepiest sci-fi/horror movies to come out of the 1950s. The folks at Monarch Models went ahead and the result is one cool kit.
This scenario is from the first film, right down to the transmogrified fly with a human head! The kit is well-cast in plastic and most of the pieces actually joined pretty well. All of it is brush-painted with the exception of the lab coat which I spray-painted white. The eyes, head and claw are all built up with layers of green and blue pearlescent ink over a foundation of metallic bronze.
The toughest part was painting the control panel and I had the idea of adding LED lights, but I have so many other irons in the fire I just didn't want to take the time to do it. Mabe later, in my "spare" time!
Help meeee . . . !
