{"product_id":"spined-cave-urchin-and-5a62d7","title":"Spined Cave Urchin Beast","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis sculpt depicts a compact, heavily spined cave urchin — a fantasy creature intended as a dramatic tabletop or display miniature. The silhouette is dominated by radiating spines and layered armored plates, surrounding a central head with multiple rows of teeth and a cavernous maw. The sculpt includes a sculpted round display base with rocky texture and the creature’s clawed feet anchored to it, giving a stable footprint for display on shelves or tabletops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesign details: the sculpture emphasizes high-relief organic armor plates, clustered nodules, and elongated conical spines that project in multiple directions. The mouth area is highly detailed with overlapping fangs, inner oral structures, and tendril-like lower appendages; the feet are splayed and clawed to read clearly on small scales. The base is integrated but visually distinct so the piece sits solidly and can be trimmed or separated downstream if a different base is preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntended print scale and delivery: this listing is prepared with a single 1:87 (HO) master file. Miniature Reality ships one 1:87 master STL and provides guidance for scaling to other ratios. The 1:87 master produces a tabletop-friendly printed piece that balances fine detail and manageable print size for hobby printers. For larger display needs, scale conversions are straightforward using the included scaling notes, but customers should confirm fitment to their preferred bases and measure their printer build volume before enlarging significantly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse cases: the creature is suitable as a unique encounter piece for fantasy tabletop games, a focal element in cavern dioramas, a display model for collectors of monstrous miniatures, or as a centerpiece on a themed terrain board. The dense surface detail makes it a strong candidate for contrast-drying, washes, or selective highlighting to emphasize the spikes and layered plates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrint and preparation notes for creators (CGTrader\/Cults3D audience): geometry contains many thin spike-like projections. Expect to evaluate spike thickness relative to your printer and intended material; very thin spikes may require slight thickening or print supports for reliable results. The base provides a flat mount but can be removed in modeling software if you prefer a different base. Orient the piece with the largest flat area down for best first-layer adhesion; many hobby printers will benefit from supports under the overhanging spines and inside the mouth cavity. Consider 0.1–0.2 mm layer heights to capture the tooth and nodal details without excessively long print times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat's included: one master file prepared at 1:87 (HO) with recommended orientation and scaling notes. No additional scale-specific files are included; customers use the 1:87 master as the source for scaling up or down. Because this asset originates from a legacy project stub, final model inspection for thin-feature reinforcement is recommended before printing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNotes on provenance and uncertainties: this listing was finalized from a legacy stub labeled \"hitem2 p038 spined cave urchin.\" Specific author, production date, and measured real-world prototype dimensions are not available in the source metadata; measurements should be confirmed by the listing operator or finalizer prior to generating additional scale variants.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Miniature Reality","offers":[{"title":"1:87","offer_id":44201285222487,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/2078\/1911\/files\/camera001_eba6ac8e-e5a6-4960-81dc-138c32046937.webp?v=1787870599","url":"https:\/\/miniaturereality.com\/products\/spined-cave-urchin-and-5a62d7","provider":"Miniature Reality","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
