Bearskin cake warriors

This is the Internet sourced silicon cake or sugar craft mould for our soldier bear. Several styles are available online from different suppliers.

More Cakes of Death silicon cake mould and sugar craft inspired gaming ideas.

This figure was made as a birthday gift for a family member who collects bears, having  previously liked some traditional style Toy soldier Prince August figures made for another birthday.

Figures from these commercially produced silicon sugar craft or cake decoration moulds (available from several internet suppliers) are about 65 to 70 cm high / 2 – 3 inches high.

These Fimo bear figures are painted in Revell Gloss Acrylics for that toy soldier look.

All I need now are several dozen of these in contrasting colours and a bear battle may commence for command of the toy box / honey supply, whatever …

Perfect for parades or unusual gaming scenarios.

Glow in the dark gaming …

One of the first polymer clay / Fimo bear figures I made was using white Fimo – or what I thought was white Fimo from a multicolour gift set. What it turned out to be at nighttime was glow in the dark Fimo.

Maybe a challenge – glow in the dark figures gaming – or maybe not.

The sound of the ghostly pipes and a glowing figure at night. Should scare the enemy!
