Picked this up today and think that it's fairly well done for the money (20 dollars). Paint job could be better, but again, it was only 20 dollars. Giger's art costs much more than I can ever afford, so this will have to be close enough..

I've been a Giger fan since seeing Alien/Aliens as a teen ager and I had to have it even though I'm buying toys at the age of 34

Here are some quick adnd dirty macros if anyone else is interested....

Way cool. I've been a fan of his for a long time too. I went to a Giger exhibition back in '92 in Zürich, and he's done some stuff that makes his Alien work look like something normal. While I was there he autographed one of his photo books for me. If you ever go to Switzerland, he's got his own bar in Chur (about an hour from Zürich), and the entire bar is done in the Alien theme.

How about some size comparisons with common objects so we can get a better idea of the size of your purchase.
