Very cool kit!

I'm not aware of any FM cover kits, though. I'd love to see some!

WHOA! 👀

Is that plaque still available for sale, and if it is could you please post a link if you know it. 😜

I subscribed to Famous Monsters for years in the early '70s, it was my introduction to the world of sci-fi and Old Time horror pictures! 🤩

I painted a Creature bust a la Gogos and FM of F

I don't know that I'd ever try this style again. I did it because I had this bust lying around that I got for $25 so why not...
