Aurora's figure models were only a part of Aurora's model kit offerings. The company was just as well known for its ships and planes, many of which featured Jo Kotula box art. Here I am with some of my Aurora military model kits:

I love seeing this classic stuff, awesome lot Hepcat.

It's no wonder the Aurora monster model kits were a smash hit with youngsters. Check out these ads that appeared on the back of DC comics in 1963-64:

Rip Hunter 17





Rip Hunter 19





Combined with the fabulous box art by James Bama, kids didn't stand a chance of resisting these on store shelves!

Here are scans of three more super cool Aurora monster model ads from the back covers of some of my DC comic books:

Rip Hunter 23





Hawkman 6





House of Mystery 154

Beautiful paint job, Dirtyhorse!  One of the best I've seen.  I love the variations of color on the slab of rock and overall tones.

DH, I know it would vary from kit to kit but how much time on average does it take you from start to finish on one of these?

[Dirtyhorse]

Yes, there are variables, of course, but I would say between 5-7 hours which includes the prep work. I usually have several projects
going, aside from my other businesses, so I never go from start to finish on any one piece. I jump around to prevent the burn out
factor, but still meet clients deadlines.
