- Description
- Tux is the mascot for the GNU/Linux operating system.

The 3D version was modelled in Blender by Oliver Baker - this version (specifically for 3D printing rather than animation) was built in November 2006) - this 3D model in all of it's formats has been released under the GFDL license.
- Size
- The 'real' Tux is generally presumed to be about a meter tall. But make your model any size you like.
