TRANSLUCENT ALIEN ? ?

Yep Jim, it's true.
Giger had hoped to create a translucent suit (which he would later try again on the "SPECIES" creature), but did not like how it came out.
I remember reading an interview years back with I think Martin Bower, he mentioned a shot were the camera tracked over the Alien's head and in the translucent dome they had it full of maggots or something so the entire top part looked alive, maybe that was the same version as this ?!
Yeah, I had read something similar regarding the maggot-filled head.
Must.... know... the truth....
You should contact Martin Bower through his website maybe, see if he can shed any light on this picture !!
Details of the Translucent concept are featured in the book Gigers Alien...
