Original Aurora 19" Frankenstein-Advice please
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, May 4, 2005 8:49 AM
I just purchased an Aurora Gigantic Frankenstein model in complete condition. This is an original from 1964 model kit. He was assembled and painted and is very dusty and could use a proper cleaning, and the glue used to assemble him has lost its' stick. He has tape holding him together for his photo shoot,. but he is in parts. Head and upper body, one part. Lower trunk with belt as one. With arms and hands separate and both of his shoes. Attached to the back of his neck is his chain and stone. The condition is as follows. There are no cracks, chips, hairlines, repairs or restorations. He has a few rubs to the surface, scratches, and a few very small miss-placed spots of paint and glue.

I plan on fixing him up, and was thinking of stripping and re-painting him. So I'm reaching out to all of you for some good advice. Or maybe its best for me to leave him alone and add some detail to him.

Here he is, Also please give me your comments on him and let me know if you have seen him before.
Thanks,
Howard

It looks like a pretty cool kit that can use some tlc. I'd soak the whole thing in Castrol Super Clean for a day or so then scrub all the paint and stuff off with an old toothbrush. Anything you can seperate, do it, but don't force anything to come apart that won't. Rebuild it to the best of your ability and give it a nice paint job of your very own. It'll be great when it's done.
