I play in a Pathfinder RPG campaign, where we use miniatures as visual aids to map the flow of combat scenes. My character is the Batman. Well, not the Batman, but I’ve taken a lot of effort to copy many of the signature features, abilities, and equipment the Batman has, and make my character something similar.
Lately, my character had the opportunity to hire a side-kick. This was actually a pooka familiar, which is a rabbit-like humanoid creature. Naturally, this was going to be the Robin for my Batman. Thus, Robin Hopps was born. (After Judy Hopps from the Zootropolis, and no, this is not a very serious campaign.)
Now I needed a miniature figure for Robin, and thought it would be easiest to sculpt one myself. I have previously made one owl familiar and some horns-modifications on other miniatures using greenstuff, so I had some experience with sculpting.
I used a set of needles and a toothpick to model the greenstuff. As a sculpting medium, greenstuff feels a lot like modeling with chewing gum: it’s a bit sticky and rubbery. Once it cures, it becomes hard, though.
I had some trouble trying to get the light green parts of the model to cure. After 24h it was still quite soft, so I put it in the oven for a couple of hours @ 50 degrees Celsius, which managed to harden it a bit more.
