Maybe. There can’t be a real debate on something unfinished though so…
In terms of accuracy and achieving the realistic paint work. I am doubtful. It will be tough to beat. Also if he’s casting his own mould, how accurate can he get without the originals. Hansing was asked by Giger himself to mould his original lol. That alone is an extreme feat lol. The original right in front of him and all the references materials he needed. That alone is a cheat code for achieving the paint work and accuracy.
I think Chase Smith’s paint work on his Aliens are fantastic though. Imo it’s less realistic and more pretty (I know that pretty is weird to say), more uniform.
It will most definitely be impressive if he ever finishes it.
Sidenote; I always look at the shoulder paint first. You can always tell where they are going with their alien paint. this also has the usual eye sore painted uniform rings on top of the rounded area on the shoulders lol. Collectors really don’t care for accuracy and likeness as much anymore. I mean the two P1 Big Chaps are loved by collectors and those are inaccurate AF lol.
