Alien: Giger's carrying alien bodyparts from A to B

 leading from 

Alien Studio environments: The Art Department, Shepperton Studios

 

 

 

a) Giger in the plaster shop where polyester castings of the alien body parts can be seen.

 

Giger wanted to see clear resin castings of the alien body parts, and so Kenny Barley cast them.

He couldn't imagine what Giger did with them, perhaps they could have ended up in the skip?

1. Ken Barley: HR Geiger. I remember casting them clear resin casts . It was something he wanted to see . Ended up in The skip probably,?? I have a photo somewhere I’ll have a look.?  (Propmasters.net on Facebook May 19th 2023)
