Title: Looking for a tortoise
Post by: OSHIROmodels on November 21, 2020, 06:08:29 PM

And quite a big one. At least 100 long. A turtle will do as well at a push. Nothing too fantastical though (a la GW new sea elves).

cheers

Sorry, should’ve said, not looking for files etc. Just the real deal  :)

Amazon has this one - link (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Papo-50161-50161-Galapagos-Tortoise-Multicolor/dp/B00J7UHVV0/ref=psdc_364305031_t1_B0006281G2), which may be too big.

There another Papo one at 80mm - link (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Papo-50013-Tortoise-Figure/dp/B0006281G2/ref=sr_1_4)

Toys are definitely worth a look

100 what? Inches? ;D

Anyway, Eureka has a turtle tank (with frogs). And nowadays a UK store too?

Assuming you mean 100mm, have you considered a garden ornament?

As an example:

Thanks for the replies and yes, 100mm (or thereabouts).

I think the Eureka one is spot on though.
