Prof. Means claims to have finished the Phoenix Wright sculpture in 1.5 hrs, which, despite the casual treatment in-game, is absolutely hauling. You can clearly see the armature that Robin created, which is larger than life-size. You can see the big bag of clay - which needs at least a day or so to cure, and you can smooth/shape the slightly dry clay then. This is typically before firing, but obviously we don't have time for that since the concert was the next day.

Creating sculptures like the ones we saw on the stage, that are not only done but painted, would take quite some time and would not only be an additive process [e.g., adding clay only where you need it and not taking any off]. This took me out of the case almost completely. It was too much suspension of disbelief. It clearly wasn't air-dry compound either, because why would they leave the bag open if not for the player's benefit of knowing story details? Hrgh.
