Just finished this one,An Aurora(MKII) re-issue of the Addar Kit from the 70's,Having done a fair bit of pre-buying research I was not to surprised at the  quality of the sculpt,or the strange "Dancing with the Stars" pose,so out came the razor saw,and off with various appendages  ;D The kit is very obviously based more on Urko from the T.V series,Rather than Ursus from the Movie,and in retrospect,I think i should have removed the Bandolier ,but it does break up a VERY Black colour scheme.Shoulder pads and armour added,rifle bulked up to look more like an Ape rifle,base elements re-positioned,Ape beard and helmet extensions made with milliput,Knife added and rifle strap(Made from the foil from the neck of the bottle of wine i am currently enjoying :)Anyway, enough waffle,Here's the pictures.
Hope you like them.

Amazing. Love the idea of those kits. I remember as a kid, finding them and being so excited. It was like having a new set of monsters to build. This is a great reworking.
