The popular Weird-Ohs® model kits - the classic 1960s multi-million selling phenomenon...

Bill Campbell is another one of my favorite artists, he is behind the Hawk model companies 1960's Weird-Ohs series.

He also did the box art for many WW2 planes, trains and cars witch proved him to be an all around great artist.

The Weird-ohs series later spawned the Frantics, the Silly Surfers and an off-shoot line of plastic toys, Halloween masks and board games.

The Hawk company has recently re-released the Weird-ohs, Frantics and Silly Surfers kits with the original box art.

I have painted the coffin with Tamya spray cans, as well as wheels and rims.

The rest was painted first with mat black ( spray can ) and then by hand with Acrylic mat paints (FIN by WACO, great experience).

These colors can be diluted with water or abrasion-proof.

For the eyes, mouth, teeth, all shiny areas, I cover it with Enamel Paint No.1 by Revell.

The back of the coffin is filled with lead pellets, so that the whole makes a wheelie, and the briefcase serves as a wheeliebar...

I also add some hair...

Well, this is my version, hope you like it.

I've always liked these and you did a bang-up job. Nicely thought out and executed. I built the Drag Hag as a kid. On this model though, I could never make the connection the coffin had with the rest of the theme. Job stress driving him to the grave I guess, but it seemed like kind of a stretch. Like that part of the joke needs to be explained.

Road rage back in the day. He could have run a funeral parlor(hence the coffin). Another fine build. Adios, Larry.
