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.
Davey - The Way Out Cyclist
I have painted the bike with Tamya spray cans and the flames are temporary tattoos, front and rear light are Gemstones.
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.
Davey`s hair is from the hood of a winter jacket, the small chains are real second-hand jewelry, the decals are also temporary tattoos, the tongue is a piece of polystyrene, carved, curved and the drool, is superglue.
The base is an old picture frame filled with plaster.
The progress can be viewed here:

Well, this is my version, this is an old build, but I've never posted it here, hope you like it.
