Weird-ohs Davey - Complete build and paint for two kits.
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
I worked on this build from mid May until mid July. I built two Davey kits at the same time and took my inspiration from two famous biker movies of the '50's and '60's. I still have to make a base to display them.

They both look great! Love these kits. So easy to customize. The American flag gas tank looks fantastic. I really like all the extra details you went with. This was the first kit I did on my channel when I started back into the hobby. Thanks for sharing hear builds, take care. Jeff🇨🇦

Thanks Jeff, they are fun to get creative with.
Both builds are way cool!! I like that you did a tribute to the Easy Rider bike AND Marlon Brando!! Adding the jacket patch decals was a great idea!!

Thanks James, I would have tried to add more details to the bikes but the stand is very fragile.

Hey Steve, they look familiar to me. Excellent builds. Very impressive work. You've given me a few more ideas. I see you took to heart Davey's statement in the instructions to buy a few more so you had a Gang.

Thanks Vince, I found the kits at shows for a good price, would have liked to have three ideally (but not sure I have enough creative imagination to customize a third one.)
SO ~ stunning ~ brilliant work

They are fun and simple to build and I found very little seam work required, just a lot of thought on how to put the two bike halves together with the wheels on and then paint.
Very, Very Cool!!! Love the Easy Rider inspiration!!!! Gonna go look for some of the Krylon chrome paint!!! I'll be watching

Thanks Mike, I think I found the Krylon Chrome at Walmart a few years ago. I think Rustoleum makes something similar. It works best over gloss black.
What an awesome build Steve. Absolutely hit those out of the park. I think these could be your best one yet. Can’t wait to see them mounted on their base. Keep having fun buddy. Papadan

Thanks for the comment Gary, I'm not sure he would appreciate the representation of him on it though. lol.
Nice job, especially the "Easy Rider" paint job. I'm building "Francis Foul" myself right now. Picked up a bunch of Weird-Ohs from Ottawa area Preston Hardware stores this past year but was never lucky enough to find a Davey.

@@ModelCarMinion They usually don't. These were in their odd's-and-end's corner where they have things like toys. Not regular merchandise but things they get as overstock/discount. I first heard about it from another model KZreadr out in Edmonton and decided to check here. They were only $7 which was well worth it. This was quite a few months ago (6?), but you may want to check if they still have some. The Kanata Preston had mostly Francis Foul, but the east store had many more. I picked up 5 in total.
