Tortuga Kustomz

Thank you Daniel

Hello everyone, make a little progress on the engine, not a lot but just added decals to the pulleys belt and connect my fuel valve to the fuel block behind blower hat, looks good so far

man, this engine bay is looking better with every single detail, can't wait to see more

awesome job Francis, that the only thing i really don't like of opening doors, they are to thick, but the end result is just amazing

Looks amazing man

I think that's why i can't work at this scale, they detail work can really be DETAIL ? i can not imagen my selft work making details like this one, love it Ian, just love it

WOW, what i nice work man, that panel is going to be top notch

Thanks brother

nice work

i build slow because i don't have the time to build faster like the rest of the guys, but i prefer to work clean and slow like you do

Thanks Francis, and yes, that is one of the thing i like about this hobby, i can use a lot of stuff that can match 1:1 parts or tools Thanks Ian, well, the evergreen rods that i use is the #222, which is 0.062", so basically I'm using 1 1/2" on lower and top bars in scale, pretty closet to the real deal

Thank you Daniel Thanks Ian, I want to add some detail, but they are not coming well for some reason, hope to be able to make them before I call this one done LOL. Here’s an update on this bad boy, really small but I’m happy with it, work on the pulleys belt material and added this old printer belt (the belt that move the cartridge) and it’s a perfect fit for this 1/25 scale resin pulleys from flashpoint, also I was mocking up fuel likes for my fuel distributor block behind the blower hat and make the decision to go clear red instead of black this time, I want to give some color without compromising the mean look, hope you guys like it

Love it Ian, i wish i can see this model in person

That is awesome, love the detail, can't wait to see some color on that

so clean, i want to work just like that Francis, i will some day

Thank you Edgar, i love all those stuff that Scott have there Thank you Terry, i was super excited to do this part of the project Thank Francis, i was so nervous when i was making them, didn't want them off center from the car, and i believe wheelie bars are one of those little details that make drag cars more interesting

I'm done with the wheelie bars, they look great, this details make this car look a lot meaner, i did use futurattraction wheelie bars setup, and the fabricated 9" from the same place makes the perfect duo in my opinion, still need to connect my brake lines and add some details all around thos section before passing to the interior work

now i see some color, this is coming real good Ian

yes 1.6mm is the most accurate size in our scale, looking forward to see that project

no matter how many times i see your chassis work, i always find something new, just love this job man

nice job

Paint looks smooth my friend, love it

Thanks brother, question, what evergreen rods you use on this project, i normally use #222, for me is the most close to regular 1:1 tubes in scale for chassis

Thank you Ian, hope to shout some paint on them soon, can’t wait to put this rear end together to start playing with the interior heres a little update is not much but soon will have a the little details I’m planning to add…

WOW that looks so good Ian, battery and wheelie bars complete the rear section A+++++ my friend
