Found this on the website of one of the game's 3D artists. I've definitely seen bits of it before (I think in magazine advertisements and/or the game's manual?) but I'm not sure if this exact image has been used anywhere. http://juancarloz.freehostia.com/ I like how Flex's helmet just clamps onto his head

Hey thread! It's been a few months. Almost half a year, actually. But good stuff is happening! I happened on some 1995-96 issues of Klick being sold on an Austrian classifieds site. Got in touch with the lady who listed them, sent over some Euros and now they should be coming to me in the mail. Unless the same disaster as last time befalls us, this will be our first look at the original run of the Time Cruisers comic, which we know had at least a slightly different, possibly more story-oriented approach than the 97-onward issues we have. The change was done because the comic kept getting added to new countries where new kids couldn't be left confused. But in the time these issues come from, the comic was only in Austria (or at least, that should be the case). Also some of these will definitely predate the launch of the Time Cruisers theme. Fun stuff! I also came across this, which (incredibly bizarrely) appears to be a complete backup of the Austrian LEGO website in 1997.

So, I was building some of the houses from the GBA version of LI2, and as I was goofing off, I started building the observation deck of the Info-Center. Then, I got the idea for a sort of brickster Info-Centre; a more conventional fortress for the Brickster. Unlike the Info-Center, the Brickster-Center is larger, darker, full of vents and shafts, and guarded by Bricksterbots. I didn't bother putting in any minifigures because I don't like having to compromise with other decals when making a minifigure in LDD which is why I sometimes use custom decals in my MOCs. Anyway, here it is Extra Pictures: Credit to Pranciblad for suggesting the color palette to me. I guess you could say I kinda "cheated" a little by using Toggle Physics Test to do the curtains and the front window, but I couldn't find any other way to build them without using Developer Mode. This is, actually, one of my most detailed MOCs ever built: It took about a day and a half to make, and its a bit boxy on the sides and back, but it looks pretty much fine to me. I wanted to add some fish-like details to it and have a fish head at the front with the mouth being the entrance, but I don't think I'm skilled enough to do something like that yet. Anyway, enjoy. I won't upload a .LXF because not everyone has developer mode and so if they load it without said mode some of the "cheatsy" bricks will be removed, but I might upload it if enough people want me to.

I found a new rendering program called bluerender (and also modified files to improve the results) and I decided to render my 1:8 L.M.S. Explorer in it. Personally I like the result more than the older pictures. There is also an option to let your MoC rotate. Basicly you get a ton of single images and can make a video or gif out of it (I used the first option). The stuff is also in the first post of this thread, but I also post it here:

Found this on archives of the website for NDL, the company that made the NetImmerse/Gamebryo engine, which Alpha Team runs on. (Fun fact: LU runs on it as well.) Nothing too interesting but I thought I'd post it anyway. http://web.archive.org/web/20010201192800/http://www.ndl.com/LEGO.htm http://web.archive.org/web/20010406143344/http://ndl.com/news/0011a.html

Darn, I was really hoping this would be a 2016 revamp of Alpha Team. One can dream.
