He looks like he knows where every gear in the tower is. He looks like he's been there forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a miniature that works as a villain, an NPC, an encounter, or a player character. Its personality is built into the sculpt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Sculpt\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTick Tock is a stocky, hunchbacked figure with a deeply characterful face — wide eyes, strong jaw, and the expression of someone who is either very clever or very mad (possibly both). He wears layered clothing with a heavy belt and straps, and carries a mechanical clockwork pack on his back — a mass of gears, pipes, and mechanisms that suggest he either built it himself or took it from someone who shouldn't have had it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn his right hand he holds a lantern, casting its fictional light forward. In his left he grips a heavy tool. He moves with purpose despite the hunch — this is not a broken man but a functional, capable one who happens to be shaped differently from others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe base is a decorative clockwork platform — gears, cogs, and mechanical detail integrated into the ground beneath his feet, reinforcing the steampunk theme throughout the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterial\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCast in \u003cstrong\u003ehigh-detail resin\u003c\/strong\u003e — the material of choice for character miniatures where fine surface detail matters. Resin captures the sculpt at a fidelity that plastic cannot match, preserving fine details like the individual gear teeth, the stitching on the clothing, and the expression of the face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in two finishes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnprimed:\u003c\/strong\u003e Raw resin, ready for your preferred primer and paint scheme.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimed:\u003c\/strong\u003e Professionally primed in grey, ready for immediate painting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eScale\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for \u003cstrong\u003e28mm scale\u003c\/strong\u003e tabletop gaming.
