These 'The Thing' projects are some of the most disturbing miniatures games I've ever seen. I love them, but they scare me.

A horrible piece of work - but in a good way!

Coming from you that is high praise indeed. I have almost finished painting it so hopefully more pictures in a couple of days,

Here are the painted pictures, sorry about the bad photos, will try to get better ones later.

Colors are a bit strange with that greenish light.

But the model is a killer !
Do you painted it on a black undercoat ?

Anpu · « **Reply #111 on:** 23 July 2012, 03:58:25 PM »

Grey under coat. I had to autocorrect the dark photos and they turned out real bad, will get better photos tonight when my daughter has fallen asleep and I can set up the photo rig. More furniture and some fallout stuff on the way as well.

Better pics, still not good though, I can't seem to get the lighting right today.

And a spawntype thing, not quite satisfied with this one.

I kinda like the weird lighting in the photos. Makes the images more horror-movie like.

Missed a couple of updates here and all I can say is I am gutted.
They are all soooo good that I wish that I had seen them earlier.

Top drawer, amazing conversions!

Like where you are going with the trust/fear rules too.
Watching (more attentively) with serious interest!

Awesome. I only saw a few minutes of the film when I was a kid...might have to dig it up.
