Greetings! This is one of the few Aurora kits I had that survived my childhood. Back in the 90s I stripped it down and just recently got around to repainting it. The little pointy thing on top of the lamp is about the only damage it took over the years. As always questions and comments welcomed.
I shot a couple pics before stripping it so here is Hyde with the original paint job by a 12 version of yours truly circa the mid 70s. Sorry for the photo quality they were taken back before digital cameras and I'd learned how to photograph kits well.
What's new in the Gallery?

Re: Monsters Of The Movies Mr. Hyde!
That is extremely cool Rick... Being able to rework a kit you had from when you were a kid, It'd don't get much cooler than that
You did a superb job on him this time around, not that your original paint up was bad or anything... But using the skills you picked up over
the years has certainly paid off on this one. Nicely Done...

As always Rick, great work all the way around.
The face looks great, and I live the shading you did on the cloths.
Now, as to that old build, man, that looked pretty good.
You definitely had talent way back then too.

Thanks for the great feedback everyone! I've also got the MOTM Dr. Jeckyll waiting for a new paint job.

Enjoyed seeing the original build up. Second time around is even better.
