Dale suggested me to share this information originally posted by member "Artie Lemos" on the forums at Resin Illuminati. Enjoy!

THANK YOU for posting this information!!!!! I'm a newbie here and what luck on my part to find this thread as my first posting. I am the owner of that particular head and have been curious as to why it was repainted flesh color and the eyes detailed. As a fan of the UFO INCIDENT, I had searched for one these masks for a very long time. I finally scored this one a few years ago and was told it was indeed the hero mask but had since been reworked for another NBC production. In fact, I was under the assumption that it was done for PROJECT BLUE BOOK. To find out that it was for BSG & BR is a treat. The craziest part is that the rework was done by David Ayers. I've known David for 20 years! I bought a Close Encounters alien head from him (another of my favorites) and never thought of asking him about it. What a strange coincidence! The mask is still in EXCELLENT condition. I'll be sure to post pics soon!

Y'know, I vaguely remember that one. Was it on Carillon in the casino somewhere?

Yes, you're right.

You have to check out Marcel's brilliant article on Galactica.tv for additional info: http://www.galactica.tv/battlestar-gala ... ctica.html

It's a shame that most of the footage shot for the aliens ended on the cutting room floor. :sad:

Time to revive an old thread.

The owner of the original mask finally posted some photos:

I wonder what happened to the rest of the Carillon Casino Alien masks...

Looks like the present owner has taken good care of it.

Good to know it's in good hands.
