I finally got a chance to sit and enjoy both parts of this. That was awesome! By the end, part of me wishes I could order a kit of it or something. I wonder what's next. Were you ever into Blade Runner? The Spinner would be a challenge.
My guy!! Thanks so much, bro, that really means a lot. Y'know, I've actually really been wanting to make an Officer K from Blade Runner 2049, and from time to time I think about how I might even TRY to make that spinner, lol. On deck for sure are Crocket & Tubbs from Miami Vice with the white Ferrari; A BTTF DeLorean; The Ecto-1. I have parts for all of those, I just gotta find the time to do them. I also want to make an Interceptor for my Tom Hardy Mad Max figure. Need more hours in the day, lol.
big fan of your comics work, recently found your channel, watched all of these Turtle customs and the results are stunning bro. this is a beautiful aesthetic and interpretation of the Turtles
Oh dude, thank you SO much. It really means a lot to me that you'd check out the channel, and thank you for reading my work! And I so appreciate the kind words-- this really made my day 🙏🏼🙌🏼
That "stretcher board" there are usually two, and they're used to put under the tires if you get stuck in mud or sand and the wheels just spin. It gives you traction to get the car out. Amazing job on this man. Im about to ironically convert a toy TMNT turtle van into a GI Joe Classified can and was watching for ideas. I love your interior work dude! Your windows turned out amaaaazing!
Thank you, man! Yeah somebody pointed out the traction board thing in the comments here--wish I had known what it was before I ran my mouth! lol. In my head cannon the turtles repurposed them for urban hero use 😂
Awesome series of videos. This is just beautiful work. Always love the practicality of your work. It really helps someone like myself who doesn’t have a 3D printer.
Thank you, sir! That means a lot, man. All the fun is in the practicality of it for me, I think just printing stuff and gluing it in would be boring, haha.
Still watching the video but I have to pause and say that I just absolutely love how you handcraft so many parts from scratch, especially the styrene bits and bobs. Not at all knocking 3D printing, but I really admire those old-school techniques you employ to make something out of nothing. You just keep raising the bar with each project and it's a pleasure to watch along the process!
Thanks so much for that! Yeah, I honestly find very little appeal in 3D printing for this kind of thing. Not knocking it either, and it's great (even integral) for custom action figure heads. But for this it would feel like automating the fun/challenge and turning it into a model kit, more or less. I love trying to upcycle bits of trash and handcrafting this miniature stuff.
I can see this thing roll up in a hidden street in NYC and theee Turtles roll on out in the middle of a swarm of Foot Ninja and just go nuts. Big Trouble in Little China story taking place just around the bend and you don’t even know about it. Great looking storytelling figures.
Waited The whole Day to sit and watch your video, and as always a complete blast, and also would like to say that this work of yours is what sets you apart from The rest on you tube, your touch, it's like your signature and now that it is complete The vision is awesome, as I've said before true inspiration and now, waiting already for your next build, keep your head on Swivel!!! greetings from Mexico!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Def my favorite 1/12 Turtle Van! Looks real cool. The '90 movie is my favorite TMNT media so this is cool to see. Could've/should've been in the sequel!
Great work! The details are wonderful. This is looks more accurate as far as scale with these figures than Super 7’s party wagon does with theirs. Granted, they made an awesome PW but it is a touch monstrous in size Nice work!
This is better then what super7, Neca and anyone else did. This is what should have been in the movie! Will you do a collection tour? I feel like there's some morr gems back there
I really appreciate the kind words, man! Yeah, a collection tour is probably the next video I’ll be posting. It’s way overdue, as I haven’t done one in over a year. Thanks for checking out the videos!
Wow looks amazing hope i see a custom Splinter April Casey and maybe villains but who knows that's your choice or decision but gd job you did it keep it up u nailed it i love your work cowabunga bud 🐢🐢🐢🐢😊👍
I know you can do it if you cn do the 4 turtles that cme out amazing with van i am sure you can pulled him off all you have to use is ur imagination buddy 😊
Thanks, Rus! Yessir! I'm going to do something for it to use in some photos of it, and then I'll probably make a truncated version that will fit on the shelf with it, and hopefully leave room for a couple of other figures that I want to make to go with these.
Amazing video! I was so excited to see the final product and it didn’t disappoint! Awesome work! I do have a question/favor in the first video you said that the pink bus was too big for the turtles and is there anyway to take a pic next to that van or show a side by side comparison with this van? Because I want to try and make a custom van for my Neca 1990 turtles and the only van I can accessibly find is that steffi love pink one amazon. Very much appreciated if you could and thank you.
Thanks so much for watching it, and fo the kind words! Unfortunately I don't have the Steffi van handy, but I can tell you that it's 20" long, and the VW van is 15"-16" long (they were relatively small for a van). My custom turtles are about the same height as the Neca 1990 turtles (I actually bought that Steffi van FOR those figures at first), which are technically 1/10 scale. So if you scale that Steffi van up to real life, it would be 20 feet long to the VW's 15 or so feet long. That's basically an entire TMNT laying on its side from head to toe. So just way, way oversized. Trust me, you don't want to get one and then be like "Oh. Well that won't work" like I did, lol. Tamiya makes a 1/10 VW bus shell, ( I THINK this is 1/10, doesn't say it outright but the measurements listed are correct): amzn.to/3uqvSGn There's also this one: not a VW, but it's the right size and general proportions and I think it could make an awesome Turtle Van. It's also a fully functional RC with an interior: amzn.to/480s2S4 Good luck, dude!

great work from a dedicated craftsmen!
Thank you very much! I appreciate you checking it out!
Great build, looks awesome!
FYI, those 'stretchers' are recovery treads or max traxx. You put them under the tyres when you get stuck.
Thank you, and thanks for the info! Lol I legit thought they were for rescue 😂
Amazing work! I look for people like you, willing to create their vision of the bros
Thank you! I wish there were more of this out there because I love it, too. Haha

Thank you so much, man! That’s really kind of you to say and I very much appreciate you checking it out!
incredible transformation. looks gorgeous and scales perfect
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind words 🙏🏼
Just sick work as always! This will look incredible with those turtles on display!
Thank you, dude! I'm so pumped to finally have it on the shelf!
Another solid custom vehicle! God bless! Praying for you and yours!
Thank you my friend, and likewise!
Even though I try not to collect tmnt whatsoever, very nice job 👏 👍 👌 ❤
Thanks very much!
Great attention to detail.
Thanks very much!
That’s so cool!!! Man you have the whole van custom work down. So dope man! ❤
Ayyy thank you! I really love doing vans now, haha. Appreciate the support!
As always, really great work! Congrats on another job well done. Your custom van is the perfect addition for your custom turtles.

Fabulous! Well done mate and as said already, you should be very proud.
Rod 👍
Many, many thanks again, Rod! 🙏🏼🙌🏼
I wish they would have that style of Van in TMNT 2 Movie
Me too! Thanks for checking it out!
Really good job my friend! Would be my vision as well as to how the van would /should look in real world…I like it! 👏🏼👊🏼
Thank you so much! It's really fun to do this kind of thing and think "what would a real one look like?" and I'm glad you agree!
I love it when I get to see beautiful work like this. It really sparks my imagination and invokes creativity!
I love hearing that! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing!!!
Thanks for watching!

Thanks man! This might be my favorite of all the vehicles I’ve done so I really appreciate you saying that!
all that is left is Shredder
No... Casey Jones first!
Naw dog. I need Mondo Gecko, obvi.
What about splinter?
That's cool.
Thanks!
that roof rack could have one or two skates! awesome work as always
Thanks, Sebastian!
I enjoy your work my man, awesome take.
Thanks very much, Jose!
Looks great!!
Thank you!!
Awesome work, dude!

😂😂 Hopefully no births were missed!
Wow this is absolutely amazing🔥😩 like you said one of a kind bro
Ayyy thank you so much!
Time to do that pig guy from power rangers that was voiced by Walt White.
I used the pig guy to make the turtles! Check out the Raphael figure build video: ruclips.net/video/zIwj8HB-mIY/видео.htmlsi=hHBkwlBip49KnqgB

Thank you! I have a couple more characters planned, but we’ll see!
You welcome buddy
D Master Splinter nxt
@@abdaponte49 I'm probably not making Splinter. I'd only want one with "real" fur and that would just be way too tedious, haha.
I know you can do it if you cn do the 4 turtles that cme out amazing with van i am sure you can pulled him off all you have to use is ur imagination buddy 😊
Usagi Yojimbo next it will be nice or Splinter
I might make usagi at some point, but I don’t have plans to make any if the furry characters
You should make Raphael’s trenchcoat and hat
I don’t know how to sew like that but maybe he can borrow the one from the Neca Raph, haha
This turned out great! Do you have any plans on making a diorama with this? Like a cityscape or maybe in the sewer?
Thanks, Rus! Yessir! I'm going to do something for it to use in some photos of it, and then I'll probably make a truncated version that will fit on the shelf with it, and hopefully leave room for a couple of other figures that I want to make to go with these.
