With the glasses, it works! "The Creature Walks Among Us" (I think 3rd in the series) has a bit part by a very young Clint Eastwood.

We didn't have any brown paint so we tried making it by mixing other colors. Somehow we ended up painting his Wolfman maroon. I built several other monsters myself... none maroon.

I also build scale models. However, the stuff I build is one of a kind. Here is a dual lane bowling alley in 1/12th scale. The pins are an inch and a quarter tall.

These are actual copies of the real thing. An AMF 8270 on the right side, and the Brunswick A-2 on the left. They actually worked (by hand). You could bowl with a marble, and the thing was as authentic as it could be. Had several people come over and bowl. Unfortunately that was lost in that cursed foreclosure...It was six and a half feet long, anyway. Could not have moved it.

Aurora had lots of monsters and superheroes. They had Rodan and Ghidorah in snap-together versions. They had a series of monster-like creatures driving sooped-up cars. They had "Big Frankenstein". Batman, Robin, Superboy (with his dog), Phantom of the Opera, King Kong (RKO, I believe), "Dr. Jekyll as Mr. Hyde", "The Forgotten Prisoner of Castle Mare", "The Witch", "The Guillotine". The list goes on.
And so will I The Batmobile, various craft from "Lost in Space", the Green Hornet's car (what was that called?). One model I would like to get (but not one of the Aurora series) is the martian space ship from the 1953 "War of the Worlds".
My ex-cat was named "Muffin". "Vomit" would be a better name for her. AKA "The Evil Ball of Fur".

How about a model of Irwin Allen's Lost In Space Jupiter 2?

Thank you Michael! You're very kind. Wow. Your friend has a classic collection! After starting over
up here in Maine, and started my V.A. Pension, I've had a lot of time. I contacted some friends in Florida, and managed to reacquire a few things...some of my magic, and my 1/6th scale (2 inches = 1 foot) AMF pinspotter parts I constructed out of brass. I have the two and a half inch pins, balls and the templates. Here are the frame sides, rocker arms, torque tubes and inner frame pieces done in the factory colors.
