I am running the Kingmaker path (modified for D&D and adding quite a bit of my own material). I had a situation in the AP where a giant shambling mound type creature named Tendillicous shows up but I could not find a good mini for it so I decided to make one. Certain creatures like Tendrilicous are fairly easy to craft. Small creatures or creatures with humanoid shapes can difficult for non sculptors. I decided to use Super Sculpley which is nice clay because it is a oven bake (it will not become hard until you bake it) I made a very simple armature out of wire because the creature has long arms and they would snap off without the support. (you can read all about armatures online) After I sculpted and baked the creature I stippled it with texture paste to give it a nice rough texture. I present TENDILICOUS

Looks like a perfect method for old treants too

The wire is enough to keep it from any cracking? I have not had good luck with clay once it dries. Is (super)sculpey any better?

It's actually the basis for all modern construction - concrete takes the compressive stresses, and reinforcing bars (rebar) take the tensile stresses. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinforced_concrete

No, but portland cement, the binder in most concrete, is about 1/3 clay. My point was that clay and concrete are both weak in shear and tensile stress, but strong in compression, so the same solution (reinforcing wire) will work for both materials.

That is a great monster! H.P. would be proud. Or horrified in an indescribable manner.

I do not know if we have this kind of stuff here in Brazil! This is simply clay?
