Monster-of-the-Week: …this week’s honoree is the giant
three-headed snake that Mr. Spock, with oddly un-Vulcan-like aggression, zaps
with his phaser in the 1972 Aurora model—the very first Star Trek “character”
kit. The box art was exceedingly cool...
…but the paint job I gave this kit back in the ‘70s ruined it, as my abject manual skills ruined most of my beloved models back in those days.
The Spock kit has been reissued recently, and my pal Stan kindly sent it to me for Christmas, but I’m afraid to attempt it—I doubt my painting skills have significantly improved since I was 11.
