Reply to comment by dudinax in The Thing (1982) -- the scene with MaReady checking on Blair in the cabin by darthvirgin

It knew how to construct similar under Blair's cabin. Also my personal idea is that luckily it didn't make itself something small (like a cockroach) and just hide out till spring.

I assumed the craft it was building under the shack was just to get it to civilization, not back to space. I doubt it could build an interstellar ship from helicopter and snow plow parts

It couldn’t have hid as a roach or something due to the cold of Antarctica. You have to remember it was frozen when the Norwegians found it.
