hobbybobby Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 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. Digger I have painted the car 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 "Brakechutebackpack" is filled with lead pellets, so that the whole makes a wheelie, and the added wheeliebars reach their limits... The helmet claimed the most working hours... I made a new shifter with a miniature Red Baron "Ghost" skull with an ornate German spiked helmet from the Big Red Baron, 1/12 scale. Well, this is my version, hope you like it.
