The MUMMY

Each vintage Aurora Monster Model takes between twenty five to thirty hours to restore. I buy the models off eBay and from yard sales. As a kid I always wanted cool looking monster models. I use Acrylic pants, ink pens, and color pencils to achieve great effects. I hope to add “The WITCH” model someday to the collection.
Thrity eight hours was spent on this model built in 2004
