{"product_id":"horned-cave-bat-fantasy-gaming-051fa9","title":"Horned Cave Bat Fantasy Gaming","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis sculpt depicts a horned cave bat: a crouched, bestial fantasy creature with layered shaggy fur, twin backward-curving horns, an open fanged maw and exaggerated bat wings. The wings are supported by visible skeletal rays and show tattered membrane edges with sculpted holes and tears; the fore claws and rear talons are pronounced and splayed on a round display base that reads as carved stone. The sculpt emphasizes silhouette and micro-detail — dense fur tufts around the neck and shoulders, ridge scales across the snout, exposed teeth and tongue in the open mouth, and distinct knuckle and tendon definition on the wing fingers. The pose is low and forward, conveying aggression and weight on the forelimbs while the wings arch outward to frame the figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSculpt features and intended uses\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Distinctive horns and jaw: two backward-curving horns rise from the skull, framing a snarling muzzle filled with layered incisors and elongated canines. This gives a strong focal point for painting and tabletop identification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Wing anatomy: articulated wing bones, segmented finger joints, and thinned membrane edges with purposeful holes provide dramatic silhouette and paint contrast. These thin membrane areas are sculpted for visual realism; small fillets at the bone-to-membrane junction improve printability for hobby printers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Base and feet: the round base is sculpted with radial cracks and textured stone; the clawed feet are anchored to the base for stability in printing and display.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Surface detail: layered fur plates, carved ridges on the snout, and scaled textures across the shoulders increase visual interest and give painters natural highlights and wash channels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents and scale\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing includes one 1:87 (HO) master STL file intended as the primary production master. Use the 1:87 master for hobbyists who prefer smaller display miniatures and for layouts where scale consistency is required. The master file is designed to be scaled up or down by users or production houses as needed; Miniature Reality supplies the single 1:87 master as the baseline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinting and hobby notes for makers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Orientation: the sculpt prints cleanest with the underside of the body close to the build plate and wings supported by custom supports; wing finger tips and membrane edges are thin and will benefit from targeted supports or light bracing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Small features: teeth, horn ridges and narrow claws are delicate; printers with a layer height of 0.05–0.1 mm are recommended to capture maximum detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Hollowing and drainage: if hollowing for resin prints, place drains through the belly and inside wing cavities; preserve surface detail when applying any mesh changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Postprint cleanup: thin membrane holes will show resin lines unless carefully washed; file preparation and support placement are recommended for clean results.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse cases\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdeal as a tabletop gaming miniature for fantasy RPG encounters, a centerpiece for cavern dioramas, or a painting challenge for hobbyists. The strong silhouette (horns, wide wingspan, crouched posture) makes it readable at gaming distance and visually striking on display. Consider pairing with rock scatter, stalactite elements or other cave-dwelling creatures to build an encounter scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNotes on provenance and measurements\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe source for this listing is a legacy MeshRef project stub; no verified real-world prototype exists (fantasy creature). The identity confidence for a named real-world source is intentionally low. The listing provides one 1:87 master STL as the production baseline; if you require alternate baseline scaling or precise real-world prototype measurements, contact the Miniature Reality team for custom conversion support.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Miniature Reality","offers":[{"title":"1:87","offer_id":44189850173527,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/2078\/1911\/files\/camera001_b51756d4-0933-4757-997c-19ad7db87f91.png?v=1787600999","url":"https:\/\/miniaturereality.com\/products\/horned-cave-bat-fantasy-gaming-051fa9","provider":"Miniature Reality","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
