I've been a model builder for about 40 years. I started off with the old AURORA Monster models and I still prefer to build figure model kits over vehicles and other hardware. I'm also a collector of toys/action figures but this is a hobby that I just started and it REALLY depends on the subject matter of the figures. Aside from the Universal Monsters, I collect the classic Planet of the Apes and the 1966 Batman (Adam West & Burt Ward). I used to collect KISS but gave it up due to not agreeing with the direction that the band has gone with dressing up two new members to look like Peter Criss & Ace Frehley.

I had them all as a kid in the 70s, and I’ve built/painted most of the reissues since. I bought my first Aurora monster kits (Godzilla and King Kong) at a K&B Drugstore here in New Orleans back in 1971. Then, there were the Monster Scenes series and the Prehistoric Scenes series, which were also fun! I wrote an article for Scary Monsters magazine called BE A MODEL CITIZEN, basically a tutorial about building and painting monster models.
I wonder if gene is really happy with himself. He has become a pain in the ass. I would love to see him become something other than privileged in his own mind and his additude towards the world. Gene, I would like to see you live like most people that have to get up at 5:00 Am to go to work and do a 8 to 10 hour job that a lot of people feel like they are just making ends meet every week. No limos, not righteous looking down on others, and come home to a simple dwelling with very few things to look forward to. You donald trump ass kisser. I bet you couldn't do it if you're life depends on it. That goes for you Paul as well. Do you except the challenge??? I bet not! You two wouldn't last a month without you money and fame. Get a job on a construction site and work for a month and see how you feel about yourselves. And damn it be honest with yourselves and everyone else. And don't say you are too old to do the work. So many people in the same age bracket do it every single day six to seven days aweek. I don't think you can do a week. I'm waiting to hear back from you two!!!😅😅 I bet you will not pick up the challenge.

It is the Kirkeby mansion, my dear. I refuse to acknowledge the current owner for ruining this fine home!
I heard people actually came wanting to meet Jed,Granny,Jethro and Elly May.That was why they wouldn't allow the place to be used in the show after the third season.Nice touch using music from the show.I always liked Elly May's theme.
Backs up what I said a dozen times. Ace and Peter should have walked away in 1995 when Paul and Gene offered them that bleep deal! They were even more desperate than Ace and Peter. Ace and Peter were already poor and accepted their lot in life. On the other hand, the other 2 were deathly frightened to be broke and the loss of the constant attention and admiration they craved as much as the money. They need their egos constantly stroked. They would have caved and agreed to a 4 way split. Their BS of keeping the kiss name alive is nonsense! What they put out and did in concert was so far removed from what kiss was, its laughable. By the early 90s "their kiss" was dead in the water and going under like all rock bands of the 80s. The hard core kiss fans didnt give a crap about the 80s/ early 90s kiss! The real America kiss fans wanted the original kiss in make up! Not the goofy ass 80s kiss. Ace's jackass manager that was just as desperate for a payday and sold them out. Ace and Peter should have hired a pitbull to negotiate their deal.
The best part of my childhood, was seeing these kits. I have all 13 of these classic kits. Long box and glow version 69, 72 sealed my wonderful collection.
Thank you Mr. Jeff Yagher for bringing these model kits alive! Also, to you Mr. Mike Rutherford for building and painting of these amazing kits. I wish they was also available in plastic. Atlantis, X Plus, here is your chance get in contact with Mr. Yagher.
Is big as that house is and we seen part of it on the Beverly hillbillies. Some of the house was not even shown on the Beverly hillbillies. Yes I remember them times and it was very warm times when I was a kid and them TV shows when you used to watch them with your grandparents and with your mom. Everybody I remember from the past relatives are all gone now is just me my brother and my sister basically. I just wonder who actually living in the house today? I know it’s a mansion, but it’s still a house.
57 now and my first Aurora was The mummy, i think. Got a model every time i had to go with my mom to her afternoon job. Sat quietly and inspected my model while she worked. I Have them in my glass cabinet in the living room for all guests to see. Refurbished and painted during the last 20 years.
Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Jed Poor mountaineer barely kept his family fed Then one day he was shooting for some food, And up through the ground come a bubbling crude (Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea) Well the first thing you know old Jed's a millionaire Kin folk said Jed move away from there Said California is the place you oughta be So they loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly (Hills that is, swimming pools, movie stars) Well now it's time to say goodbye to Jed and all his kin They would like to thank you folks for kindly dropping in You're all invited back again to this locality To have a heaping helping of their hospitality (Beverly Hillbillies, that's what they call 'em now, Nice folks Y'all come back now, ya hear?)😅
Didn't know the "Prisoner" was painted by someone other than Bama, but Mort definitely took his cue from him. Never did really like the "glow-in-the-dark" versions, but you could of course paint them anyway you liked. Still, it is just too bad that Aurora didn't continue with additional "monsters" or mystery figures like Polar Lights produced with "The Invisible Man." Although model-building was a waning interest by the mid-70s, some serious additions to the monster collection might have helped Aurora remain relevant, just saying.
You couldn't pay me enough to clean that place. I'm bummed that we didn't see the kitchen. That's where they spent a lot of time. I would never have guessed it was this massive.
As a kid you see Godzilla and it's the one that fought King Kong then you want to have it you got to have it but of course you don't recognize it looks like Godzilla but not exactly but as a kid you don't care secret of the universe I had a chance to get a 62 Godzilla Bandai but so far I've turned it down
