Title: Stranger Things - Demogorgon WIP 28mm (SPOILER ALERT)
Post by: The_Baron on August 14, 2016, 02:44:48 PM
*********SPOILER ALERT*********
If you haven't watched the show, please do yourself a favor and go watch it now. Spoilers below and I would hat to ruin the show for you.















OK so wasn't quite sure what board to put this in, but I think the Cold War themes, adventure and conspiracy and so on make this the best fit.

Anyway, first off I LOVED the show, great story, soundtrack, genuinely scary and of course all the great references.

Having been slightly inspired by this, here's my take on this fella, the Demogorgon

Still WIP as a little green stuff work is required to blend everything together (particularly the backwards jointed chicken hands) but I think he captures the feel quite well

And a starkly lit one so you can see the conversion.

Now where can I find 1980s US military police in peaked caps?! And hazmat suit troops with MP5s?

Cheers The Baron

Bravo Mike makes some 28mm 80s US,  and I believe Eureka makes some 80s US in NBC gear.  Don't knownaboit peaked caps or MP5. If your going for realism they would only there service pistol and maybe an M16.
  Might have to do a head chop

Cheers guys.

Seriously, I loved it. I watched the whole thing in a weekend. Need to finish this fella off, then maybe some other characters from the show may follow  ;)

No not going for realism, but was surprised there aren't any military police types around. How about US marines in dress uniform?
Bravo Mike seems to have everything out of stock, maybe it is a new website or something?

Hi Baron, they are out of stock because about 4 poses (out of the 16 or so) need to have some post-moulding remedial work to them.    I might be able to re-jig pack contents to release those that are available - I'll drop you a note later to see if we have anything that would be of use to you.

(Incidentally I can probably get a pack of heads run off with caps for DIY head swaps.)

Did you know Nexus miniatures are doing the kids and the Creature on pre order. Also Crooked Dice have mentioned security guards coming
