Yeah - sorry Bro' - what is this showing us?

(* I'm getting older - I needz context :) *)

.
Clearly it's a Lafka-esque rendering of the struggle of modern day women is male society under the governing zeitgeist of neonatal postpatrarchical....words....

Looks almost like the speckled black paint on it, although camera lenses often show things that the eye doesn't see, as well as making reflections look part of the object in focus.


Alclad chrome paint, perfectly smooth and metallic to my eyes in person.

Even if lighting is not the best to display this piece, I think it looks great! Thanks for posting the pictures! I was waiting for them:) are the teeth chromed in that bust? What do you think? i think I would prefer a dome less transparent than that
, but as I said! May be is because of the lighting conditions there...

I don't know if this may shape your opinion, but the original dome was fairly transparent. On set it had a tendency to fog up. This was ultimately the reason James Cameron did away with them in Aliens.

They're more silver than shiny chrome. I have to say, seeing it in person made me want the damn thing even more. If the price wasn't so high, I would have already jumped on it.
 
The dome started off clear, had varying degrees of transparency for various reasons (even filled with maggots at one point in a failed experiment, they died) and was ultimately tinted black for the end scenes. So this is entirely accurate, but personal preference obviously comes in to play. You could have a bit of tint added to it easily enough. I quite like being able to see that menacing skull beneath.

Man I really want this thing, If I can get this and the maquette, I will. But It will be a tough ask as money is tight currently. If I have to choose one though, I think the maquette wins, price depending.
 
Cameron ditched the domes because they were too fragile.


Plus he saw somebody working on one without the dome and liked it. I always thought removing the dome and filling in those empty human eyes killed the menacing look of them personally. I like the Warriors, but the Big chap is a far superior design imo.
