Miniature Sourdough Boule with Sculpey (Clay Polymer)
Just thought I'd share :)
Made with sculpey. Used a toothpick for rings, knife for scoring. Baked and then based with a mix of Americana Honey Brown & Americana Cocoa. Washed with Burnt Umber and then dry brushed with Americana Snow White.

It's pretty tiny.. DnD / Fantasy Wargaming scale.
Great little model... But just an interest point - I once worked in the building (converted) where they used to burn umber; Station yard, Ashburton, Devon. I'm sure there were many others though. It was in the middle of renovation when I was there, but there was still the large hearth and chimney where they used to make it.

Yeah definitely gonna have a large brick oven / chimney kinda thing :)
Would be very easy to craft with Hirst Arts fieldstone blocks, like I do my modular dungeon walls in the following photos:
Oh, that's so cute! Do you have a tiny bakery to put it in?
Not yet, but when I do I'll share a photo of it :) Thinking work table, shelving, a 28mm baker miniature working a ball of dough (easy just sculpey unpainted made into a ball heh). Various loaves of bread in various states, including a couple balls of dough rising in a little banneton :)
... big sacks of flour, flour all over the place (including on the baker), wooden peels. How about a tiny 'cob' wood-fired oven?
Sounds great!:)

Very cute even if totally weird in a strange way:-)

Virtual bread:
Very nice job on that bread Wild Yeast :) I'll try and copy that on a small scale :) My boule is like 1/2 inch in diameter.
Here's some more sculpey bread I made:
I like the braided loaf. That one must have been fun! And the 'bakery' is looking good too. :)
Thank you :) Was really easy to make.. just rolled 3 strings and braided it.. cut each end (picking the section that looked best). Then mashed the ends a bit and baked. Dry brush with $1 craft paint: Americana Honey Brown.. then added a bit of burnt umber to that and dry brushed that on with a really dry brush.
Just printed out and painted a workbench for the bread oven:
Here's another photo of the Tavern this is all in. It is in a fantasy setting. Terrain used for both DnD and Frostgrave. It's evolving day by day :)
Most of this stuff is 3D printed.. Curufin on thingiverse.com has some really nice STL models that emulate wood well. Scale is 28mm but bread is a bit big, but it's okay.. they just like making large loafs in this fantasy world.
