The World Turtle

This is my take on the world turtle that features in both mythology and Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. Imagine a world where instead of a globe with different continents, we built civilisations on the back of many giant turtles, swimming in a humongous sea. Think Mortal Engines but with sea and turtles!

Features

A World Turtle with a detailed microscale scene on top of its shell including a castle, surrounding village and forests. Further intricate details can be found in the turtle itself including the foliage decorating its sides. 
The turtle itself is a kinetic sculpture. Turning the turtle's tail will make the head and front flippers move in sync with one another other, to create a fluid swimming motion. Video to be uploaded shortly.




Dimensions

The model measures 32cm high (from the base of the stand to castle's tower), 30cm wide (flipper to flipper) and 31cm deep (head to tail).
