{"product_id":"tunnel-maw-centipede-beast-821da1","title":"Tunnel Maw Centipede Beast","description":"\u003cp\u003eSculpt overview\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Tunnel Maw Centipede Beast is a purposefully grotesque, fantasy arthropod sculpt rearing from a rocky nest on a circular display base. The design emphasizes a heavily plated dorsal carapace with overlapping chitinous plates, dozens of articulated walking legs stacked along a long sinuous thorax, a tapered rear segment, and a highly detailed head with multi-segmented mandibles and twin sensory antennae. The base is modeled as a torn, rocky tunnel lip that locks the creature into a dynamic upward strike pose — ideal as a boss or encounter monster for dungeon scenes or a dramatic centerpiece for fantasy dioramas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat’s included\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- One 1:87 (HO) master STL prepared as the release master for Miniature Reality distribution. This master is intended as the canonical file for downstream scale conversions. The package bundle metadata and product page include a short conversion guide for hobbyists who want to scale the master to alternate sizes for different tabletop systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSculpt details and visible features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sculpt is focused on silhouette and readable surface detail at miniature scale: broad overlapping dorsal plates, distinct segmentation along the thorax, and repeated limb pairs whose bases are resolvable from the main body. The head assembly features a stacked mandible set with inner teeth, small compound eye nodules, and two long antennae that flare forward. The rocky base has undercuts and crevices that give the posed creature visual context while helping to hide support points if printed in a single assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntended uses\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Tabletop gaming: a dramatic encounter piece for roleplaying and skirmish games.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Dioramas: natural fit for tunnel, cavern, and horror diorama scenes as a centerpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Painting and display: sculpted with layered armor plates and exposed bio-structure for paint contrast and tabletop readability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrint and finishing notes (for printer-savvy audience)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis master was prepared as a single-part release master at 1:87 (HO). The sculpt contains thin appendages (antennae and some distal leg tips) that may require slight thickening for smaller final scales — the product page includes suggested minimum wall thicknesses and recommended support orientation notes. The rocky base anchors the model for stable printing; hobbyists may choose to split the model (head\/thorax\/base) for micro-detail printing or multi-material printing. Hollowing, drainage, and internal supports should be considered for resin prints larger than the base master scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScale and conversion\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMiniature Reality distributes a single 1:87 (HO) master STL for this sculpt. The product page includes a short conversion blurb explaining how to uniformly scale the master for larger tabletop scales and how that affects fine features. Because this creature is a fantasy subject with no authoritative real-world dimensions, the 1:87 master balances tabletop presence and printability for hobby layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNotes on provenance and uncertainties\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis sculpt is a fantasy creature design provided as a legacy meshref project. There is no real-world maker or historical provenance attached to the subject in the supplied source data; the listing treats the piece as an original fantasy miniature. The source Stage 1 data did not include authoritative real-world prototype dimensions, so the distributed master uses the 1:87 baseline and includes guidance for users who need alternate sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Miniature Reality","offers":[{"title":"1:87","offer_id":44204817481815,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/2078\/1911\/files\/camera001_585d9f93-678a-4361-b9d9-0748cf7b0d82.png?v=1787897812","url":"https:\/\/miniaturereality.com\/products\/tunnel-maw-centipede-beast-821da1","provider":"Miniature Reality","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
