I was going to say the very same thing. Even the shot of this same piece posted earlier looks much greyer than the shots I took.
The rod puppet looks a little different in shots that I have seen. It's a combination of both lighting and paint.I don't know why the one he is holding looks more grey.

Hi Drudge.
Long time lurker, first time poster.
Im trying to put together a comprehensive Alien films website - yeah I know theres already a few great alien sites out there - but Im really trying to make mine as insanely informative as possible.
I have the Alien 3 Bandai book, I've previously scanned all the pages, but obviously without busting the spine / cutting the pages there is no way to get a decent flat scan...
I was on the verge of cutting it the other day, scalpel in hand... when I chickened out and decided to have a good search on the internet to see if anyone had already cut theirs.
The images you posted are pretty damn good and look to be scans from a flat source? If you could provide me with any info regarding their origin it would be greatly appreciated. The Bandai book is one of my favourite Alien collection items and Im truly loathed to cut it up for scanning, but I may have to one day
Hi,
Unfortunately, I don't know who originally scanned those images and posted them on the web.They have been floating around for some time though.You may want to look through the archives of the Hive forum.I think it might have been one of those members that could have originally posted them.I can't remember exactly.
I wish there were more highly detailed pic's of the rod puppet from different angles available,I just love the design!
I'd love to have one of those Bandai A3 books,but I can never seem to get my hands on one!:cry
.
The Bandai book is a great resource, I highly recommend setting an ebay search for it. I saw one on the ebay.uk about two weeks ago with a reserve of around £30 if I remember correctly.
I paid £35 for it about 8 years ago at a comic fair at the Birmingham NEC and couldn't believe my luck. There are photos and artwork in there that I have never seen printed any where else and I consider myself a pretty die hard collector!
If I get anywhere with my investigations, I'll be sure to let you know asap.
Anyway, to contribute, I have a better quality pic than one previously posted in this thread.
