what a cool idea for a bust. the cold misery is very evident.

A very clever idea, well executed. I don't think anyone has done anything like this with a bust before..... have they? This will certainly get people thinking of different things to do with busts.

Mike, thanks for your comment.

Roger, thanks once again.

Carl, thank you mate.

Barry, it's a combination of a bust and a diorama - I thought I'd call it a "Bustarama". I like the sound of that.
