Thanks!
Hopefully there will be an 1982 type station unless I decide to go the scifi route and use the Alien Colony buildings.

Could you do both? I was hoping to use my Prodos xenos with my scifi project and with my Miniature Mojo winter figures that I was looking to use for a Thing project.

Just want to give an opposite view on seeing the films. If you have never seen them the prequel copies the dramatic beats of the original so closely that it will spoil the impact of the original which is far superior and a genuine classic. Imagine how all of the great plot surprises of star wars are spoilt by watching the prequels first? That. Watching chronologically is more fun if you already have seen the original! Just my tuppence worth about one of my favourite films!

I agree completely. I forgot that fact, but itīs true. Better watch the old John Carpenter movie first, let it settle for a while and then watch the new movie followed again by the old one!

Yes knowing myself I will most likely do both....
The biggest issue I have is time, the other is space. (in space no one can hear you hoarding minis...) Nowhere to store it all....
Much of my time gets consumed by a five year old girl, my daughter and the light of my life, with autism (most likely the high functioning kind).
Hopefully I will finish this project before too long with the time I have for it.

I agree completely. I forgot that fact, but itīs true. Better watch the old John Carpenter movie first, let it settle for a while and then watch the new movie followed again by the old one!
That would most likely be the best approach!  :D

Nice additions. I particularly like the pjs on the guys in the winter gear.

Television is rather a frightening business. But I get all the relaxation I want from my collection of model soldiers. P. Cushing

Great additions, sir.

You must have quite a collection by now.
How many figures do you have finished?

A quick count gives me 16 survivors +1 weapon variant. On The Thing side I counted  25 Things.
I will try to get some group pictures later during the day.
