In this video, we are looking at Paul Enselmoz's entries into the Monster Hobbies Build A Monster Contest for 2023.

Paul's first entry is in MonMH1 - Out Of The Box. This is Dr' Deadly's Daughter AKA The Victim, which is a classic Aurora Monster Scenes kit molded in 1:13 scale.

Using all-Aurora parts, Paul kept her arms movable (as the kit intended), gluing, puttying and painting around them and painted her shorts to resemble daisy dukes.

Paul's second entry is placed in MonMH2 - Concepts and One Of A Kinds. This is the Baragon kit from Billiken. Paul says "In the movie FRANKENSTEIN CONQUERS THE WORLD Baragon's horn is illuminated with a pulsating light, so I replaced the kit's vinyl horn with one of resin, and attached a pulsating LED to it."

Paul's third entry is also in MonMH1 - Out Of The Box. This is the Godzilla Maquette by Ultra Ya Hobby. Paul explains "This model   was inspired by a Japanese movie poster depicting the Godzilla prototype carrying a woman."

Paul's fourth entry, "Godzilla Dream" is entered in MonMH2 - Concepts and One Of A Kinds. This model is a combination of kits from Billiken and Polar Lights. Paul lets us in on his vision when he says "The idea of juxtaposing a Godzilla model (in this case, the 1954 Godzilla model from 1993) with a miniature scratch-built mushroom cloud  came to me in a dream.  I added some buildings from the Polar Lights reissue of the Aurora Godzilla to the sea of smoke..  This is not a diorama as it doesn't capture a moment in time but rather illustrates a concept (Godzilla as metaphor for the Bomb)."

Paul's final entry is in MonMH4 - Monster Figure Dioramas and depicts a drag race between Godzilla and King Kong, both modeled by Aurora model kit molds from the 1960's. (I think these are recent renditions are from Polar Lights and Round2.) Paul tells us "I improved my Godzilla's Go Cart by glossing the helmet, painting skin highlights, repainting the parachute pack and placing the steering wheel under the paws instead of in front of them.  This I added to a new King Kong's Thronester and a scratch-built racetrack diorama base."
