Aurora Wolfman 1962

The Wolfman was a bit of a disappointment when it was first issued.  The box art shows this really creepy werewolf figure in the woods, a real scene setter.  Not so much the actual model.  The kit was kind of a generic kid going boo figure standing on a rock with a rat and a skull.  No torn shirt, no sash around the waist, no tree...At least when the Glow box came along in 1969-70 they were more honest with the picture.  You almost get the feeling they did not tell the artist what the sculptor was doing.
Oh, and yes, even though Larry Talbot did not wear blue jeans in the movie, I believe it was a requirement we all paint our Wolfman in blue jeans.  Not sure why, but it seems to be an unwritten law.  Almost every built up I have ever seen of this kit the figure is wearing blue jeans.
Below you should find images of the first box, Frightening Lightning box, the glow box and my built up.  Again, this one has been re-issued multiple times and you should be able to find one for a reasonable price.  I will point out that some of the re-issues do not have the knotted cord for the rope holding up his pants.  I do not know why the Wolfman would trade his belt for a rope.

Diorama Diary 

(Not Really)

I said I was excited to have the AMT 1925 T Model 3-in-1 kit.  I started with building the stock 1925 Tin Lizzie as I said.  I painted and assembled the frame and wheels and such.  Here is a photo of the first test fit of the major body parts on the chassis.  This is a very fun build.  It got to be even more fun when I looked on the "back" of the instructions and found the "how to assemble the engines" instructions.  Who knew they put important stuff on the back?  What will they think of next?
