IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN VINTAGE TOYS THIS MIGHT BE FOR YOU.










Here are some examples of my restored Aurora Figure Model kits that I have disassembled and rebuilt and repainted. If you are looking for specific examples of various models released by Aurora please drop me a line and I may be able to help you out. The process I use depends on the form inwhich I receive it. The best case scenario is a boxed unbuilt original, The next is a built original with all it's parts intact and lightly glued together with proper parts alignment. If I receive a build up that can be restored then I will strip off any paint and glue residue. The model is then cleaned thoroughly and disassembled as much as possible without damage. The disassembled model is then re-assembled into components and primered. The seams are smoothed out and any gaps are filled with putty. I then final sand and smooth any areas needing work. Pieces are then painted in components and gradually re-assembled. Final painting, detail and sealing is then done and after that any adjustements are made. I will be posting more here in the coming weeks. I plan on finishing up The Munsters and Big Frankie. They will be posted here on this Blog. Questions? Drop me a line. I do freelance work and can fit your models into my schedule. I have several Monogram and Polar lights re-issues available for sale. Also I do take trade ins. I am looking for a built up Penguin, Monster Scenes Wolfman Johnny Unitas, Jerry West and Jimmy Brown models. Also I'm looking for original Aurora boxes: Apache Warrior, Penguin, Big Frankie, Viking, Chinese Girl, Mexican Senorita, Witch, U.S. Marine and U.S. Army. I would trade for boxes in nice displayable shape.

I still have some models of the Aurora monsters. I miss The Creature, The Mummy, Dracula. Your model of The Creature is among the most beautiful I've seen, it has wonderful colors! I would like to buy one like this as a first model. Would it be possible, can you give me a good price? Then I'll buy you some more.

This is the second time I write to you, I want to buy The Creature already built and painted like the one in the photo, how can I contact you? Can you give me your email? Then I would like to continue with other Aurora or Monogram models. Let's not waste any more time, on your email we can agree on the price and the type of payment.
