An
AMT Munsters Grandpa Dragula
kit. This was built stock. I Painted it a gold color, probably
hardware paint from a can. Not a bad kit for it's age. The
kit also came with a funky surf board and a rack for it,
which I did not use.
Below
is an AMT Munsters Koach.
Built stock from the box. This kit has metal axles, and
does roll.
It
is painted with Testors Gloss Black, Gloss Red and some
other detail painting. Both the real Dragula and the Koach
were built by George Barris.,
and can be seen (I believe) in the movie Munster
Go Home.
Both
of these kits are from the AMT Blueprinter series, which
were a special edition, issued by the Blueprinter magazine
in a plain cardboard box in the mid 1990's.
TV
Sets: Fantasy Blueprints of Classic TV Homes - This book
of architectural blueprints is a loving, if obsessive, tribute
to the minutiae of televised domestic life. Author Mark Bennett's
excruciatingly detailed plans span 25 years of television
history, from Tiger's doghouse on The Brady Bunch to The Addams
Family's entire manor, including Lurch's harpsichord,
Gomez's train set, and Uncle Fester's laboratory. Also included
are Laverne and Shirley's bachelorette pad, The Jetson's space
unit, and Archie and Edith Bunker's Queens row house. Incredibly,
all the plans are drawn to be architecturally feasible; that
is, one could actually build from them. To accomplish this
feat, the author often had to imagine rooms and areas not
shown on the television programs, but only referred to, like
Ward Cleaver's den or Ralph and Alice Kramden's bedroom. Included
are detailed renderings not only of the characters' homes,
but their entire towns, such as the whole of Mayberry and
a complete layout of Gilligan's Island.
