they should be 1:6 in scale, around 38 cm high when standing. I ve sculpted one in wax and made a silicone mold than of the different body parts so technically they were reproducible. But there have been only 12 made. my mold was not made out of high quality material so its gone now. Every sculpture is also just based on the original model and than resculped more or less to change the pose. In some cases I ve changed a lot especially on the head while I ve learned more and more about the correct form of the dome and the teeth. Some versions have also teeth made out of stainless steel.
Very nice work Leigh,
the rubber glove version is great and reminisent to the original and great for having a posable version, but I wonder if it wouldn't deteriorate after a while (just like the original)...
I suppose someone who would buy your Alien bust would want to enjoy it for several years.
Having this in mind I would opt for a fixed mouth option, I really like the fixed pose 'grin' version on post #1682,
the only thing, you should be able to see the inner teeth through the opening of the front teeth, but I'm sure you will do this.
The pose in post 1704 is also great and you could make a version inspired on the iconic picture of the Alien viewed from the side (see attachment),
mouth more open (opening between teeth about 5 cm) exposing the inner mouth.
I also think the fixed mouth will look better in combination to the style of the rest of the build
(bearing in mind you're making a bust and not a movie prop)...
Nonetheless, AWESOME work!
Leigh, I like, crazy !!!!
It would be nice to do ALIEN mechanized, which is activated by motion sensors and distance. Maybe you could use parking sensors ?!
OK Time for an update:
All the sculpting is finished no more modifications, no more changing anything or reshaping, he's finished!
Here's some pic's:

It requires some modification as they don't make it like they used to back in 79.
Thanks.
I found this one too. Looks the same, right?
