Nerdy about LucasArts and Sierra video games, Star Wars, architecture, JRR Tolkien. He/him/fhtagn. Also on mastodon.social under the same username.

For several years I believed that LucasArts and other developers had created a secret time-capsule hoard of unreleased video games.
But, as I've said more recently, I no longer believe this. I was wrong. And if I hurt anyone when I suggested that theory, I am profoundly sorry.

Fabio created a lot of things for Trek (and BSG, and...), including 220+ models for Eaglemoss.
He was tragically struck down by cancer at the age of 52. So I'm glad to know that he also worked on the recently-released Neb. His work lives on.

I learned that they couldn't source the VFX file, so the Neb has been digitally sculpted from scratch, using his own research, by the immensely talented artist Fabio Passaro (Battlestar Galactica👇) before his death in 2022.
