I'm not a big 15mm guy, but these are a good start.

You might want to try varying the poses a bit and also the faces are fairly soft, but the drapery/cloth looks well-done and for a first work in a scale so small, this looks like a really promising start.

15mm does not seem to be of much intrest on lead adventure forum, more a 28mm forum.

Thanks Framframson...

I used polymer clay and it seems to soften as im using it but i realy had fun doing these.

Genarater, these look very good for 15mm. :-* :-*
In my opinion there is a great lack of civilian packs in several historical periods in 15mm and lots of things can be added to complement existing ranges so keep it coming.

I really like your sculpting, in the past I made some 15mm commissions so I realize the work it represents. I believe you found a good balance between "readability" and details.

I'm not sure LAF is specific to a scale, you can find plenty of diferent sizes here, from 6mm to 54mm ! Perhaps some periods/thematics are more "compatible" with several scales (15mm and 20mm for WW2 and modern, 28mm for dungeons, 6 and 10mm for massbattle fantasy, etc...).

LAF is about miniatures and not with scales.
What you may notice is a greater number of gamers in 28mm.
I game with 28mm and 20mm but like all the scales. The importance is a good miniature that appeals to me and yours are very good IMO.

Thank you! yes getting that balance that appeals to the eye and also to Painters is very important and can be done with practice and very rewarding also, what figures have you sculpted for your commissions???  :)


 I kinda feel it leans towards 28mm but no doubt there is also intrest in other scales and like rumcara said if a miniature is sculpted well then thats all that matters.
