Tortuga Kustomz

Awesome project my friend, when i start my jungle Jim project 3 or so years ago, i fall in love with those pictures and inspired by them, today that project is not done but just pull it out of the box like 2 weeks ago, funny mto see your build here when i decide to continue that project, mine is the Revell kit...

Awesome detail work Kurt, i really don't like to hide the details i made, i like to show of what i did LOL, keep it coming

Thank you Carl Here's a little update, work on the engine and driveshaft, they came out good, i never like the way those kit driveshaft looks like, i prefer to make something more realistic, so i put an aluminum tubing depending on the sizes of the driveshaft and add the joins from the kit, that way they look good, on the engine, i added the belt and fuel pump, lines and block all connected to the intake, the hood is not closing perfect but is a good fit, the came out really good on my point of view, hope you guys like it...

Thank JC Thank you Mike, you know, that is my biggest complain in this project, the stands, even that i lower much as i can is still to high in my opinion, but i'm not going to be fighting more for that, i'm happy on how it looks now, glad you like it

Thank you Jason, i really appreciate it Thanks Carl

Hello guys, this project is been in my bench for a couple months, i really do like a lot but i've been correcting stuff from the kit, looking for parts, trying new thing like always and trying new painting skills step by step taking longer time in between coats, but so fat is been super fun, I know i have a lot of projects going on at the moment, but what i'm doing is working on one kit while the other is drying or glue is been done, hope you guys like it... This is my Basic project, this version of the K.S. Pittman 33 Willys, they were 3 different versions of this car... Got a decals sheet from Slixx Decals for this project, love the quality of them First time casting a resin engine I did upgrade the hood hinges to make it work better and more realistic Still need to work more on this project, engine is not complete, paint needs to get the clear coats on, need to detail up the dashboard and final assembling, hope to do those things on the upcoming weeks LOL

Awesome detail work man

amazing work so far Ian

lot of work involved my friend, i like it

LOL, i don't think you need it, but is turning more the awesome, the inner walls fit almost perfect, this type of work make me want to do something like that, but i don't a kit like this, well, besides the Ford GT40 that come like that without engine, but that will be a lot of work for sure...

Welcome, amazing work you have there my friend

looking good Roger

You're doing an amazing work man, you have a good direction on this, i have a question, what size of styrene tubing or rod are you using, i did use evergreen #222 on my roll bars and chassis work, for me they are easier to work with at this scale...

Awesome work so far man

Amazing work so far, looking forward for more cool stuff man

looking forward for more updates
