Our expert's notes

A Brain Bug paint test from Paul Verhoeven’s science fiction action film Starship Troopers. Tippett Studio created maquettes of the film’s various bugs as a three-dimensional representation of the creatures that would be largely digitally animated; they were tools for shot planning, lighting reference, and other purposes. Phil Tippett is credited as Creature Visual Effects Supervisor for the film.Tippett was nominated for Best Visual Effects for his work on this film at the 70th Academy Awards^®.

This Brain Bug maquette was sculpted by Peter Konig and is cast in resin. This test is painted in two different styles on the left and right side of its body. One side features a paint job that exhibits a green/blue hue while the other half is painted with brown tones which closely resemble the Brain Bug’s final appearance in the film.

Showing some wear from use, such as scratches in the paint and a front leg that has been fixed with glue, this item is in otherwise great condition. Dimensions (maquette): 14” x 7” x 8” (35.5 cm x 17.75 cm x 20.25)

This item comes with a Propstore Certificate of Authenticity
