Jetboot Jack Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 When I was at Microprose Tim designed and made us scale models of the Alien Creatures and Alien Craft for X-Com Apocalypse - they were petty big, we laser scanned them in to make game assets of them... sTeVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetboot Jack Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 These were commissioned in the mid 90's and were for in game use, not box or ad materials - which I think is unique in Tim's portfolio... It's a shame they were so ephemeral, I remember they went moldy sTeVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetboot Jack Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 They were scuplted in clay (plastacine like) and kept in lined boxes - it was long after they were used, but I think they were stored badly and they got damp... sTeVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
