Tricked out Turtle Van UPDATE!

IT IS a true pizza eating, cowabunga dude's van! It is called TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES COWABUNGA CARL VAN!  It kept nagging at me that it was a true TMNT vehicle. So I had to find out for sure.  Grandmommy knows her toys!

It is missing the piece that goes over the front seats.
Still awesome though!

Tricked Out Turtle Van

Ok, I confess. Since I have been working on turning the duplex behind my house into a studio and taking woodworking classes, I have been doing much more shopping than working on minis. Anyway, shopping is half the fun of mini-ing...right? As a result, the shopping has paid off. I have this one thing I must show you. Then in other posts I will share the rest, but I think this item deserves a post unto itself.


I took the door off to get better shots of the interior
I got this for $2 at a thrift shop. I almost left it. Whew! It might not be what you think. My daughter and grands say it is actually a rip off of a more popular super hero group's vehicle.



This is the view from the rear window


Can you imagine the secret operations taking place in here?


The seats are the perfect size for 1:12 scale


Maybe it might become a news van!




I plan to removed that huge turtle head. I like the seats on the front. The trash can has a removable top! I still think it belongs to those pizza eating cowabunga dudes.
