The AURORA kit was molded in all black, the POLAR LIGHTS kit is now a camel tan color and clearly marked with the PL logo and the new production date of 1999. There is no way of confusing a vintage kit wit this reproduction. The main body of the car was sprayed with Tamya Spray cans, Dark Blue, Mica Blue, covered with Pearl Clear, the rest of the car and Dracula himself were hand painted in enamels and acrylics, and I dry brushed a lot... The martini glass (though not too politically correct by today’s standard) is a nice comedic touch to this kit. Molded in clear, I painted the inside flat red, then painted some veins onto the heart, topped off with a real wooden stake skewer. Assembling it in his hand, Dracula now has his “Bloody Mary” to go. This was a fun little kit, mostly boxstock, although the nice thing about these kits is the creative freedom. This is an old build, but I've never posted it here, hope you like it.

Those are fun kits - you can use your imagination and let it go wild paint-wise. I have built 5 of them, only one to still build is Godzilla's GoCart. You did a nice job on yours!
