How should I go about recreating this ?

I was wondering how I should go with recreating this with polymer clay. I tried to do it with a mold but I ended up wasting wayyy too much clay. I tried to do it without a mold but could only do really small ones.

As for details I found that painting them wasn’t really easy but I’m new to this so I’m not sure if there’s any other way to add those small details that would be more convenient.

Any advice ?
