Does this DOOM Spider Mastermind model (the one sitting at id software’s offices right now) looks like a copy to you?

Well, guess what, it turns out that it is! Well, sorta.

The latex part of the Spiderdemon is actually a recast of the original model, and said recast was also made by Gregor Punchatz himself. What happened was that the brain/body part of the Spider Mastermind was a bit beat up after the photoscanning process that every clay/latex model went up for the development of DOOM. So the boys at id software contacted Greg to recast the body part of the model to attach it to the original mechanical chassis. Therefore the Spider Mastermind sitting at id’s offices is half original.

“And what happened to the original piece?”, you might ask. Well, Greg kept it at home, and here’s a picture of it.

So, there you have it! Another piece of Doom trivia for you.
