Our expert's notes

A Warrior Bug maquette 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 Warrior Bug maquette was sculpted by Peter Konig and is cast in resin with articulating joints. Maquettes were used in the conceptual stages of production as well as during filming to give scale and as a reference for lighting on set.

Presented on a custom metal and wood base, this maquette is stored in a custom Tippett Studio wood crate. Showing some wear from use, such as scratches in the paint and a leg that is repaired with glue, this item remains in otherwise great condition. Dimensions (maquette): 14” x 14” x 11” (35.5 cm x 35.5 cm x 28 cm); dimensions (crate): 20” x 20” x 14” (51 cm x 51 cm x 35.5 cm
