Title: 15mm toxic wastland raider
Post by: Bungle on April 01, 2008, 12:35:39 PM
New sculpt in 15mm.

first one for the sculptor

"toxic wasteland/ash desert" type guys. Hence the warppings... and maybe wrappings  :icon_wink: .

It all looks to be in the right proportions. The top pic, left side of the skirty thing looks a bit funny with the indentation in it. Maybe this would be better if it flows straight down instead of going inwards then out again

I think thats the knee on the leg underneath.

Looks great Bungle :)

Looks like this chap is of similar quality to the greens you were kind enough to let me see in real life at Triples - and they were simply stunning, especially Alf's greens!

A nice addition to the collection, Bungle!!

yeah now you say it, it does look like a knee underneath. Stil not too keen on it meself and would look better without it IMHO

well cant be anyone over the age of 40, they're eyes shouldnt be good enough to do so much detail on a 15mm fig  :icon_w00t:

Just noticed Bungle, Keeper and myself are all within 5 total posts of each other. Sorry completely of topic but thought it was weird seeing as were all on 1320+ posts and not a low number

Well, its not Bungle.

And I don't think it is Bodhi, as he has already done some for Bungle and Bungle said this is a sculptor new to 15mm

Congratulations Perv, you win the money. Well, if there was any to win :icon_cool: Looking on that crease I think it looks a bit silly too, so I'll fill it in.

Is that your first sculpt or first 15mm sculpt?  Either way its very good.  I like the face, looks like me in the morning  :icon_w00t:

It's my first 15mm :) I'm working on some more though. So you wake up in the morning with wrappings on your face and goggles? :icon_scratch:

"So you wake up in the morning with wrappings on your face and goggles? "  Just one of the things I have to do to stay beautiful  :icon_w00t:

"I resent that! I didn't do this one but others. I'm 41 "  You dont count mate, you have Buddhas blessing so you'll see clearly til you're 90  :icon_wink:

In fact I see very badly. I'm nearsighted.
But up close I'm fine.
Sculpt better without lenses/glasses funnily enough.

OK.. comments and criticisms.. I want your opinions on this.

Its not from someone on the forum....

its a 15mm (to eyes) figure that has been done for  rebel miniatures I think...

from the sculptors please, comments

something just doesn't look right,  OK he is bandy legged, and I think the arms are a bit long...

generally.... very smooth and rounded sort of reminds me of Steve B's stuff, nice details ..

The arms and legs are a bit long in relation to the torso IMO, and the eyes are HUGE. The jacket also looks strange to me, especially the collar and shouldbe a bit sharper.

I thought they were hollow eye sockets   with gribbly bits.

yep clothes seem like soft wooly clothes without and sharp edges.

"But up close I'm fine."  See I told you he was looking out for ya  :icon_wink:

The forearms and hands look a bit funny on that fig but otherwise I think its fantastic Bungle. Remember its only 15mm and almost half the size of a normal fig, theres plenty of 28mm figs that arent half as good IMHO

I'd say it's great for a zombie. Arms a bit long but in that scale exaggerating such things for giving more of a "zombie-horror" feel to it is fine I think.
I've always found the dreamscene in "Terror on Elm street" where Freddy Krueger suddenly has extremely long arms and comes following the main character very slowly down a dark street one of the scariest parts.
For horrorfigures I think distorted proportions can be quite effective.
So I like it.

Is that what it was called in Sweden?

Nightmare on Elm Street in UK

I suppose its a bit like the shark film JAWS, it was called "the teeth from the sea" in france

His guts should be hanging out a bit more with that sort of damage.
Title: Re: 15mm toxic wastland raider
Post by: Keeper on April 07, 2008, 07:00:20 AM
Not a sculptor, but I'm going to comment, anyway :P

Looks OK to me.  There is a touch of the zombie-grey-alien about him and the arms and legs are a bit long, but I think he looks OK :D

There is a little something about him that reminds me of Bud the Spyglass Zombie, but I don't know if that is just because you mentioned Steve B.

jaws way off. looks like an overbite a great white could envy.

cheeks need a bit fleshing out....

hips are to skinny....

actually the whole face needs a rework.

arms a re to long and hes not wearing a cowboy hat....


hope that helps, i dint like to criticise overly, but it seems thats just what you wanted... sooo..... :icon_wink:
