Thank you and yes I do too. It's one of the rare occassions where a remake left it's mark more then the original.

For a second I thought you meant the 2011 Thing.
I was going to PM you a hate message.

If I did mean the 2011 one, I would have deserved that hate message.

Digging the talent in this thread. For the flamethrower flames: have you ever considered a sturdier material? Something you can get the dust off of without fear of breakage? The molded flames from the McFarlane "Call of Duty" figures would work. If it gets dusty---you can just wash it,lol.

Thanks and the flame on the thrower is actually cotton so I don't know if dust would affect it. However I figure that a piece of cotton would be easy enough to replace down the road if needed.
A Thing monster too...Look forward to it.
Yep working on it now. Hopefully I will have pics to post real soon.
Thanks!!

Love the bash, and a great movie. I have all the characters' names memorised from decades ago, LOL. There's 12, if anyone else ever counted. Nauls Fuchs Bennings blah blah blah

the crab thing--you mean Norris's head on stilts? Spider thing? You need some wire with rubber foam cast around it. I need something similar for my (sometime) Fiend Without a Face, for the bendy spine. I have the brain, LOL--looks great!
EDIT--forgot how thin the legs are on that headspider thing...maybe just stiff, single core wire, with the knuckles carved/shaped with a soldering iron.

Hey Thanks for the feedback and suggestions. I'm still working on that but yeah single core wire may be the way to go since it is so thin. I'll keep this thread updated as I go along.
Thanks for looking!!

well.... this is a great custom keep going!
I just bumbled in here and.... WOW! What a fantastic custom Mac! Gotta be the best McCready I've seen yet -- he looks honest-to-god cold. All you need is his hat slung behind him.
GREAT WORK!

Thank you very much!! I thought about adding the hat but with the flame thrower on his back the hat wouldn't really be able to hang back there.
