Aurora Godzilla – MotM Prototype (1973) – my custom rendition – Part II / painted

This is my fully painted kit modelled on the MotM prototype planned by Aurora before they went out of business. (more details here)

 

I was originally going to paint Godzilla in green tones but having the red and white Tokyo Tower made the whole kit start to look like Christmas themed colors. So I went with Gray tones for this one. I mounted it on a stained wood base for that extra classy treatment.

 

I decided to put a couple of flags out front as are usually present at local landmarks and parks.

 

I also made the small tank that was present in the original prototype. It came out decent enough 🙂

 

I was careful to get the eyes to have a 3d effect. It’s a new technique that I may use on certain kits from now on.

 

The nameplate is from Cult of Personality but I made a custom name plate holder with some sea plants and trilobites.

 

I took the buildings from the Aurora Godzilla kit base and made a universal background that can have many uses. Below are some pics from different angles.

  

Here’s a pic with the bg. behind Rodan and Gorgo.
