Chillyb1 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I found this today while looking for something else. I vaguely recall finding the plastic parts for the bear's head in a model that my brother had given me. I remember painting and assembling it and mounting it on this wooden plaque, envisioning some sort of diorama of maybe a natural history museum or a hunter's den. Not really sure what I was going for. Any idea where this came from? Is there a series of plastic models of wild animals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Buckaroo Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I think Aurora had a "wildlife series" but what you did is way cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSNJim Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) I think Aurora had a "wildlife series" but what you did is way cool. I initially thought those have been reissued by a company called Atlantis, but I think I'm wrong. I currently have the Black Bear and Cubs kit, but there's a bison, and white stallion kit. The Atlantis bear head is quite a bit different from what yours looks like - http://www.atlantis-models.com/blackbeard110modelkit-1-1.aspx I remember there was a white tail deer and bear from way back when - don't remember the manufacturer. Now that I've poked around on their site a bit, these are reissues of the Aurora kits. Atlantis tends to be oriented more toward sci-fi and figures than cars. A little more info about the company: http://www.atlantis-models.com/about-us.aspx Edited February 25, 2014 by SSNJim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 It's the head from the Aurora Prehistoric Scenes Cave Bear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chillyb1 Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Thanks, guys, for your responses. Casey, that is indeed the source. I've got no idea how this thing came to be in my possession. I don't recall finding anything other than the head. I'll have to check with my brother to see if he recalls having this bear kit.
