I love them Ken. Particularly the brown Tortoise texture and bump map which are very realistic, very nice work.

Very nice collection, but I think you left out the most spectacular turtle of them all, the giant leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea).
This image shows just how big it is:
I saw them many, many years ago, when I was in school, at a beach in Dungun on the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. I could never forget them. They are also different from all other turtles in that they lack a bony shell over their carapace and indeed could be included in your collection just for variety.

I didn't include any sea turtles because their shape is a significant departure from my turtle model mesh. They will require their own special model. I may eventually do them too.
WOW, that's huuuuuge!! I know turtles can be big, but I didn't know any of them were THAT big.

Amazing work on your Yellow-footed Tortoise textures and bumps Ken.

Looks wonderful!
The Russian Tortoise... This species was a little tricky to build because it, unlike other tortoises, only has 4 toes
