Though thinking about it makes me curious about making something similar, but I know I’d have to start with a taxidermied tortoise, because doing that shit to a living tortoise would kill it, and I draw the line at cruelty towards any living vertebrates.
There was a store downtown here that had a realistic plastic turtle, about 2 feet across. I seriously considered getting it and adding all the jewels and gold leaf, according to the detailed description in the book. Eventually I realized that it was a pretty crazy fantasy to spend that much money on.
I wonder if some more enthusiastic fan somewhere has actually done it.
