The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Nice shots. Hicks Wow I'm really surprised at how little difference there is between the normal and special versions. Looks like just some extra pale highlighting/drybrushing on the special?

The difference is very minor on the pics but the normal version is a lot darker it's just that we can't see it on the pictures...Both are great!!!

Yep the dome on the painted piece is more transparent.

You should ask DP for more information about it since he worked on his for a while.
He actualy made a nice paintjob on his ALIEN sano kit version(nice cloudy dome with a awesome paint on the skull and also a nice touch on the base)

It's true that in the movie you don't really see the skull under the dome but on the Sano statue it actualy great to be able to see trough it

I'll post more pics tomorrow for a better comparison!

I didn't really have time to take very good pics but here are a few more shoots with a better distinction
between normal and special version.

Damn, ya know what - I think I prefer the normal version!

I'd imagined the special would have a more complex paint app for the extra Yen, but it just seems to be paler and have more highlighting?
