Does anyone know a site with nice scans of Aurora box art?

As far as I could tell there were ridges underneath the eye - I extrapolated from there.

It's a great extrapolation! Now we know how it could scream when it was beat on the "head" by Dr. Forrester.

I'd like to see a site like that too!

Chris...Thanks so much for the font info.

Any idea what the serif font is?

I had no idea the original font was "hand drawn"

Just found this....

Great find, Klaatu!

I had all of those "Monster Scenes", and I completely forgot about the "Prehistoric Scenes". I LOVED the Cave!

Klaatu - great find! Nice, easy to navigate site.
Looking at the square-box titles, I'd guess they were hand drawn as well.

Some neat fantasy boxes here:

They're great MDG...I've been on that site before, but never noticed that page with them all together!
Thanks for the link mate

Just something I did for a bit of fun...I got the details from a garage kit site...

ChrisW · February 07, 2009, 06:14:23 PM

Klaatu - damn, that looks GOOD! Very attractive color scheme, nice look to the title.

Thanks Chris...Nice praise coming from you mate...I've done a few more. I'll post a couple when I get the chance.
They're only for fun, I don't think they'll ever go to print.

Do you have any more (Box art) to show?

Klaatu · February 10, 2009, 01:42:41 PM

This should have been made into an Aurora kit too!...

Klaatu · February 11, 2009, 10:42:31 AM

Here's a new one from me...

ChrisW · February 13, 2009, 03:20:52 AM

Cool stuff Klaatu! I never thought of it before, but Moon-Watcher would have been a cool subject for a kit, arms outstretched with bone gripped in his hand, broken bones laying about...
Are you using Photoshop?

Klaatu · February 13, 2009, 09:07:40 AM

Cheers Chris...Yeah, Photoshop...It's the only program I know.

The Moonwatcher is actually being sculpted right now as a garage kit...shoulld be out soon!
