Turtlenecker Brothers question (for all who is interested)

MAXtDie · 11-01-2009, 07:30 AM

I'm working on the Turtlenecker Brothers - Hans and Fitz customs at present. The input material for this customs are 2 fake mutatin' turtle figures (that were selling in Russia long ago). Actually, I used to customise them right away, but now I got a radical notion (as Michaelangelo would say

) to renew them as the previous customs looks poor. Here, take a look...

Because of the quality of this figures it's not a problem to make their shells detachable as it was in TV series. The episode "Planet of the Turtles" to be more precise. But I have some sort of dilemma, either to make 'em with storage shells and to put some weapons there like in the show, or to make them normal backs under the shells. (Oh, it's a pain in ass to describe correctly what I mean

).
Another words, if I'm making their shells with storage, then their backs will be concave. This will be looking rather strange when the shell will be off. But it makes possible to put some weapons into the shell.
In the 2nd case, turtles' backs will be convex without their shells. Seems to me, it will look more naturally, but it will not be possible to fit any weapons

So, dudes and dudettes, I need your advise to solve my problem!

And now, I'll try to add a poll, but if I fail, please don't hesitate to leave your thoughts right in this thread
