{"product_id":"segmented-tentacle-swarm-sculpture-and-0eb1da","title":"Writhing Worm Swarm Terrain Piece","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis piece is a dense, highly detailed sculpt of a segmented tentacle swarm formed into a roughly spherical cluster and presented on a circular display base. The composition is a mass of dozens of individually sculpted, coiled limb elements. Each limb is articulated into visible segmented rings and radial ridging; many limb tips terminate in small suction-cup arrays or bulbous nodes. The limbs weave over and under one another to create a compact, organic silhouette with negative-space pockets between coils. Around the lower perimeter the sculpt includes pooled organic forms that read as drips or soft tissue gathering on the round pedestal, giving the piece a finished display footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeometry notes and printing bundle: this listing is delivered as a single HO (1:87) master file intended as the production reference for hobbyists and kitbashing. The master is sized for 1:87 so a printed result produces a hand-holdable display piece appropriate for dioramas, tabletop gaming scatter, or standalone display. Customers who wish to change scale can uniformly rescale the provided master file; the listing includes guidance on scaling and recommended orientation for best surface fidelity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSculpt detail: the sculpt emphasizes tightly packed segmentation—concentric ringed bands along each tentacle that catch highlight and shadow when printed or painted. Small suction-cup clusters are modelled on several interior faces; those features are shallow and benefit from fine-resolution printing or a high-detail resin workflow. Overlapping limbs create thin contact points and tiny cavities; the geometry preserves these intersections intentionally to retain the natural woven look while keeping the silhouette readable at miniature scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecommended print orientation and supports: orient the cluster with the base on the build plate when possible to minimize support contact on the segmented surfaces. Internal cavities and overhangs between coils will require targeted supports for FDM or resin prints; consider tree supports or fine-point supports near the suction areas to preserve ring detail. Where extremely fine ridges appear, plan for a higher-resolution layer height and moderate post-cure control to keep segmentation crisp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse cases: place this sculpt as a horror or alien scatter piece in tabletop encounters, a terrain feature on atmospheric dioramas, or a standalone display object on a scenic plinth. Its compact, spherical silhouette makes it a strong focal point in vignette scenes and gives painters a dense field for texturing and washes. The sculpt is intentionally scale-agnostic beyond the 1:87 master: at larger print scales the ringed segmentation becomes a dominant surface texture; at smaller scales it reads as dense organic patterning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFiles and licensing: the purchase includes the HO (1:87) master file and a short conversion\/comment note explaining how to adjust scale for other popular hobby scales. The master file is the single source of truth for scaling; customers should rescale that master when moving to different target ratios. No additional scale-specific files are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNotes on provenance and unknowns: the artwork originates from a legacy project stub. Exact provenance and intended real-world prototype dimensions are not provided with the source; the sculpt is a fictional organic piece rather than a replica of an identified real-world object. If you need precise real-world sizing guidance for a specific layout or a matched set, consult the scale conversion note included with the files.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis sculpt is ideal for hobbyists who want a compact, visually dense creature element that reads strongly on a tabletop or in close-up diorama photography. Take care with thin supports and choose a print resolution suited to the suction-cup and ringed segmentation detail for the best finished result.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Miniature Reality","offers":[{"title":"1:87","offer_id":44198222233687,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/2078\/1911\/files\/camera001_af15bb2a-ed64-489a-9d1e-477a44406f06.png?v=1787724500","url":"https:\/\/miniaturereality.com\/products\/segmented-tentacle-swarm-sculpture-and-0eb1da","provider":"Miniature Reality","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
