Hi Keith,
Thanks mate, always a pleasure to have your support. As for the 1:1 - I think a little whittling around the midrift with a number 2 scalpel might be in order.
cheers

Hi Brian,
Thanks mate, I must say I am pleased with the weathering, inspired by yours. The Bonapartes bust is a nice piece and I sure you would enjoy it, the only negative and I suppose negative is too strong a word, its all cast in one piece. Would have been better if the head had been separate just from an ease of working point of view.
cheers

Hi Steve,
Thanks mate, you can't beat both busts with a nice finish. I've still got three shelves to fill and the way I'm going it's something like 10-12 years worth of work. But you know more than anyone else I'll give it a good go to them filled.
cheers
Richie
