Happy St. Paddy's Day!
Me, I'm Irish by blood (for me that means, tho I'm Polish-Italian, my ex is Irish, and that got mixed into my daughter).
Well, anyhoo me boyos, I considered posting a green car, but opted for a green skin! This Lindy Loony Big Wheel ushers in spring, and some other things agricultural! The kit itself is from a set cast somewhere in between the original and the recent repop, picked up off eBay as a "test" several years back.
Easy build, some rattle spray, some acrylic dry brushing, some clear epoxy.
Now go sing a Clancy Brothers song with your mates and toast the running out of the snakes!

By coincidence, I'm working on one of these right now. Nice little kit. Good job; I especially love the nice work on the eyes! Are those lanterns bloodshot, too?

Thanks. I try not to over-bloodshot the eyes, and bring some of the character's skin tone in. I was going for rust and grit on the lanterns, but I thought they look like fried eggs and red pepper It knocks me out that these kits went for 50 cents each!

I gotta' buy these repops! I had them all at one time but sold them off, had the originals as a kid too but trashed them.
Nice work on this one! Did he come with any glow parts?

No glow parts here. The foursome I got off ebay was all in red plastic, all four Loonies pretty much on two sprues (probably one sprue, split). This one was missing the hand or whatever sticking out of the ground. Picked them up just after the Satan's Crate limited was issued. Must have been a pre-test for the ones Hawk is selling now. The buy now price was about the same.
