Go support my main man Ed with his kickstarter : http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/131182444/assimilation-alien-host

Personally loving the designs on the page, very reminiscent of Carpenters The Thing, which is my favourite film ever. they look far more grittier and disgusting than other similar stuff IMO.

Since he's the guy that is casting all my miniatures AND film props...technically, helping him - helps me albeit indirectly XD nudgenudgewinkwink

Allthough knowing Ed, he -will- make these good deals and pile on the freebies....

These are disgusting - I love it! They really capture the feel of this alien race he is creating, I love the metamorphosis and body horror of the hosts into grub worms. One thing I'm a little sketchy on though is whether the models are plastic or metal?

Trollcast, the material he uses for mass production is his own spincast plastic system he's developed. Many of us little guys are using him to produce our miniatures lately - Red Box, Defiance games and others (such as nobodies like me :P). He does mention some limited edition garage kits as well though - and I believe these are resin. If it's the same resin he used for my master model recasts it is very high quality too.

In it's last 7 hours now and it's just made it to the 40k stretch goal! the last stretch goal is 42k... I think it has a fair chance of making that too!

Well done Ed :D
