THE FORGOTTEN PRISONER OF CASTLE-MARE (originally released 1966)

Again, this is an image I found on the web back in 2000 and have no idea how to credit. This was the first (and last) in a series of original character Aurora models which would carry the "Famous Monsters Of Filmland" logo to enhance marketability. Reissues of this model are always missing the "FM" logo and usually the "Aurora" logo.

This is my 2024 build of the model kit;
the earlier build is further down this page.

This really isn't much of a kit; I remember being disappointed in it when I was a kid.
I covered it with fake cobwebs this time to give it some "ooomph".

I also painted some light behind the bars to give it some depth.

Here's my build from the 1990s:

Again, a bit of a rarity - there's much more information available on the top of the original painting.

This was actually painted by
Mort Künstler.

Another painting lost forever to a 1969 "glow" paint-over.
