Phil,
Great work ,Like the Maori Haka face,he looks very defiant.The digger bust has a nice character about him.The archer looks set in his action even thuogh he has no arms yet I can see the pose,if you know what I mean.Look forward to more.

Hi Ian,

Thanks for posting these great pics of Phil's latest work. It's good to see the old Codger is still pushing putty, even if he doesn't know how to use a computer. The Maori 28th haka pose looks excellent.

I have been beaten severely by al my NZ mates about the spelling and yes Tony -we are trying to drag him out of the stone age but He is bigger than me and I am injured at the moment- They are really lovely little pieces and am enjoying photographing them to share with you guys - Have finally found a way so I can post on this site so more to come

Look Great Bro,
Will the 28th be made commerical if so will be interesting to see other peoples ways of painting the intensity and power in the haka (Have to watch alot more All-black games)
Love the Cobber bust can picture the sweat and grit build up just plain damn hot and sand . Archer what can I say just screamin for paint (simple or high detail ) will look beautiful, need more pics and as Ian is busted up he should'nt put up to much of a fight . Also get some photos of the New Guinea Gunner and post

Keep Pushin the envelope..........Chris
