Cutaway Walking Tortoise Design 1 3D Print Model

A walking land turtle with a domed scute shell, the head and neck stripped back to bare bone. Large plate scutes cover the dome in a ringed pattern with fine growth lines cut across each one, and the rim flares out over the legs. The skull, jaw and neck vertebrae stand exposed in front of the shell, while the four pillar legs keep their scaled skin and blunt claws down to the ground. The skull and the neck vertebrae are modeled as separate forms, so the opened head reads clearly. It fits a biology classroom, a reptile shop shelf, a natural history display, an oddities cabinet, a painting project for bone and olive, or a gift for a turtle keeper. Supports are recommended under the chin, the neck bones and the front claws. This is a digital 3D print model (STL/OBJ/FBX/GLB) -- no physical item is shipped. Print it yourself on any FDM or resin 3D printer.
