I am nearly finished sculpting 15mm fallout 2 Gecko from Greenstuff. My question is is there are ant demand on Fallout Gecko in 15mm or not? :) :) Because I'd like to share it.
Sorry no photos, its almost ready, but I need model to dry to add fingers on hands, so by tomorrow morning by Syndey/Tokio time it will be ready and I post photos :)

Here is my first 15mm greenstuff sculpt (and third greenstuff sculpt ever, previous 2 was 6mm martians). Hope its ok :)

This big eared lizard is inspired by Fallout 2 gecko. To avoid plagiarism claims I changed gecko design a bit. Its body more close to Fallout 2 gecko, but head is closer to Fallout: New Vegas gecko. it have 3 fingers, not 4 (or 5 in Fallout: New Vegas version) and also ear design is different. Not guys from Bethesda Softworks can say that it is plagiarism, its just just big eared lizard :)

Here are photos:

Any sculpting revies and advices are welcomed since it's my first 15mm experience:)

That's actually really, really good! :o

Seriously, I am very very impressed. I'd love 15mm.co.uk to cast this and let me sculpt some variants...

Only problem might be some of the 'void spaces', under the legs would worry me in a moulding situation.

I'll send them an email for you if you want though and I'll direct them here.  ;)

Thank you very much. I've never sculped 15mm greens before (Before I've been working only with plasticine :) ) so I have now idea about casting techiques :)

Basically imagine your sculpt immersed in a 2 part mould. Then imagine how they would have to pull the mould apart wiothout a) damaging the master (figure) or b) damaging the mould itself.

I'd buy that and I don't even play 15mm games.

Yeah not bad at all, sory out the void issue and a little more tightness on the sculpt and that'll be a nice thing indeed.

My first 15mm greenstuff experience. Now I realise my mistakes and hope next model will be better and more detailed.

I've sculpted it long time ago and since then my sculpting skills improved. So this figure is maybe not very up to modern 15mm standarts, but its only 15mm Fallout Gecko for now. And this is reason I sculpted him. Hope someone more talanted will scukpt and cast better version of gecko.

Nice, now the typical adventures may get some exp, and meat to cook. Love the minis especially in this size.
