Here's the jacket that pretty much everyone uses.

For Mac's flight suit, if you can find the jumpsuit from BBI's Chuck Morris figure, it's the best imo. It pops up at Monkey Depot occasionally.

They're on there cheaper. I found one for 4.99.

$5 shipped, you can't beat that.
 
Re: WGP's John Carpenters "THE THING" project 2012

I actually am looking for parts now. Have the dynamite, pants, coat, hoodie, googles, boots, pistol/holster, now trying to find a good pouch to hold some molotovs and a pouch for the dynamite, preferably one that hangs over his chest like in the movie. Any suggestions? I found a guy on eBay who makes green bottles for the molys as well.

I'd be in for MacReady and Childs, Spider Thing accessory if you make it. I'd just need a rundown on clothes, bodies and accessories to assemble them.

Can you repost the pictures of your bash? Maybe help get some more interest? Tried visiting your old thread and the pictures have expired.

I'm always a little embarrassed about posting pics of my stuff, but since you asked, I'll put it back up.

Looks great man! I'm leaning towards a flame thrower version. Actually thinking about making two. Lol.
 
Re: WGP's John Carpenters "THE THING" project 2012

I went with these... not exactly accurate but will work good enough for me.

Boots

Pants
https://www.ebay.com/itm/2807685532...NX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_2478wt_902

Hoody
https://www.ebay.com/itm/2209288031...NX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_3233wt_907

I think the hoodie is light blue though. It appears that way in some of the film. You guys should research and report back!

Dynamite

Thanks for the help!!!:yess::yess: What type of body do you recommend??
 
Re: WGP's John Carpenters "THE THING" project 2012

Thanks man.

Snow effect is fairly easy.

First I drybrushed some area with white paint.

Then i apply liquid clear glue on some parts like the shoulder, boots and pants.

I apply then some fake snow you can find in any hobby shop.

Once dry i coated everything with matte spray varnish.

You can repeat that as many as you want till you get te desired effect.
