Enjoy these pics of the Frac Tractor and Trailer Model!

Hello guys -

I am going to be posting some additional photos of the Turtle Models made over the years.  But here is the latest model to come out of the very slow Turtle Factory!














Slightly better detail than a Sword Model, Huh?

More Turtle Truck Photos

Hello again,

Here are some early photos of the original truck and trailer made by Turtle Models. 

The tractor unit is a highly modified WSI Kenworth C500.  The entire frame was modified and replaced.   All components such as mirrors, stacks, etc. were made in brass.  Additional items were added as you can see.

The trailer was built entirely in brass from scratch.  I don't even have to tell you how many hours went into this model over the three year period!








More to come...

Turtle Models!

Hello all,

Again I have been absent from this blog and I know I need to keep some posts going to keep your attention!   I will start again here by posting some photos of amazing trucks!   I will also put a few on the forum to whet your appetite.

These two trucks are from our friend at Turtle Models.  The Turtle Models mantra is "slow and steady wins the race" as you probably know already.  Nothing gets done fast there, but when they are finished, OH MAN!

Wait till you see these models!

Here is a taste...








Enjoy!
