Hollywood movie monsters are enduring pop culture standards. Kids and
adults around the world recognize Frankenstein, Dracula, the Wolf Man,
and the Mummy. Although monsters are Aurora's most famous products, the
company created model kits of all varieties, including historic sailing
ships, sports cars, moon rockets, military and commercial aircraft, TV
stars, comic book heroes, wildlife scenes, knights, and much more. Over
500 color photographs enhance this comprehensive history and guide to
Aurora models, now updated to include new companies continuing the
Aurora tradition. Aurora executives, sculptors, artists, and engineers
who created the models tell the story in their own words. Every model
Aurora made is described in detail. Today, Polar Lights, Moebius,
Atlantis, and Monarch continue the Aurora tradition. Executives from
these companies explain how they have added to the list of revived
Aurora models, with information on reissues and current collectors'
market values.
