Ok, this fella stands at 10inches tall!

He’s made from 4 ‘pound cakes’ stuck together with butter cream, some dowels placed in to hold him up. Sculpted and crumb coated and then covered in about 2kg of fondant.

The tentacles were all individually added and then he was painted green with dabs of blue.

He’s currently sat drying out, tomorrow he will gain eyes and his wings will be made, they won’t be set in place though until he’s made it to Larpaid otherwise they’ll break in transit.
