Tempting Tempura 1:12 scale

This blog was created specially for my miniatures! (Mostly food) I make 'em out of polymer clay (sculpey or fimo whichever im nearer to when i'm out) and i dont have many special tools so i mostly use my trusty (almost rusty) old mini penknife and random other things i find around the house. Maybe I should post my happy little tools~ next time cuz im currently lazy.

The first post shall present today's tedious tempura product! I only made 9 tempura for the whole evening from 5 plus until 930pm... but they evolved along the way and i'm happy! yay

Second gen tempura with 4 prawn tails



The prawn tails were attached to these guys! Here they are before baking.


The EVOLUTION process
The first generation tempura with ugly tails. And fat bodies.



Improved tempura tails! Slightly thinner body



The final generation tempura! Slim and very prawn-y tails! glued onto a rectangular plate and empty sauce bowl in the blur. Special background for end product ahaha.

I wish they were perfect but admittedly there are still many areas to improve on... if i could just make the crisps more crisp... but that will be a project for another day! As of now i'm happy enough with the result C:

Notes: for tempura crisps to be more crisp - bake beige before coating?
