Loonys Road Hog

[plastimatic]

A little Sunday-Funday-Throwback-Thursday.
The fourth of my set of Lindy Loonys, the Road Hog.

Built from a red plastic test set I'd picked up on eBay some time back before the Weird-Dohs release. Un-boxed or bagged, with no instructions.

Those taillights are just 2-part epoxy dots on top of red paint spots.

When I painted him up, I wanted a bit of a dirty hog look. Then, a happy accident, I guess. The clear coat over the layers of acrylic created a texture I could not have planned.
His skin ended up a sort of antique china doll texture.

The big smelly stogie was a must. And the steering wheel is a parts box replacement for the one missing.

As always, thanks for lookin!

Great Road Hog Fletch ! We don't see enough of these Loony kits built !

I like that leathery look of his skin . I had the same thing happen but only one time and I can't remember what craft paint I used and what clear caused it to crinkle .

Looks great!!! Superb paint work!!!

I hope the heat that "melted" his tires doesn't turn him into bacon! Ha-Ha!!!

Thanks, guys!

I've got a bagged release version of him somewhere.
Thinkin' of seeing how he might look in a toony 30s Ford or something, rather than the non-descript roadster he's in now.

Cool Oinker! Putting a little stress on those tires!
