No, not mine. As has been said, this appears to be the original board and player tokens, but the trap parts haven't changed in all that time (why improve on perfection?). We seem to have used a similar accuracy in reproducing the trap parts, too. I remembered the tokens as stylized mice, but had no references to work with so I went with recreating the modern mice, which are more cartoonish, running, with helmets on, as seen here. These were modelled in Wings3d, and some parts are a bit low poly, as I was trying to save memory where the objects wouldn't be close enough to the camera to see the little artifacts. This kept the final render under a couple of hours on the large render, even though there are three soft lights + the Bryce sun in the lighting. John
