discworld

Inspired by Sir Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels, this is a 3d printable model of the discworld travelling through space and time upon four elephants riding on the back of a giant turtle.

It is mashup of several bits from different places.

The turtle came from another thingiverse model of a garden turtle by Pmowes - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:421809

I scaled it and flattened the top to stand the elephants on.

The four elephants came from a thingiverse model by ringmaster of a parade elephant. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:38573

I scaled the elephants and fused four together to fit on top of the Turtle. I also flattened the tops of the elephants to give a better base for glueing on the disc.

The disc world itself I made in two parts. The rimfall I designed from scratch using Cheetah 3d - I am something of a n00b in Cheetah 3d, but the finished article is close to the effect I was seeking. The disc I modified from the other disc world model on thingiverse b
