I've just received some sample casts for the 'The Thing inspired Plot Points.



I think that they have come out rather well, I'm hoping to get painted up at weekend, so will share some more photos then.

Mark has just posted this photo of the sculpts that he has done for Whiteout inspired by the characters from the 1950's version of 'The Thing'



We have just extended the length of time we are going to leave late pledge manager running on Gamefound until the end of the month (31st October).

I'm just about to do a test paint of first 1980's 'The Thing' model.
Any one got any ideas / inspirations for color scheme?
I've never painted a mutating chaos thing before!

That's brilliant Mark! Absolutely love the 50's version, great touch with the 2x4 and dog :D

Looks a bit like Parker too, don’t you think? “Yes, Milady”

Ohhh, there’s a thought, Pulp Alley “Thunderbirds”!

I'm just planing on playing it on a loop to get inspiration....

Not seen that before!
Pure genius

Figures look great as well, wish I'd seen this.

Don't worry, we are still taking pre-orders for the figures on Gamefound up until the end of the month for shipping in December.

Last night a did a quick and dirty assembly and paint job on the 1950's version of The Thing so that I could take a few scale comparison photos.



Here he is holding his last meal and armed with a length of 2"x4".
28mm miniature for scale comparison.
I was not sure what color to paint him, the movie is after all black and white, so went for green to indicate his vegetable origin!
