Ian,you are very kind my friend with your coments,however to reach the highest pinnacle BOS at Euro is a very very big ask,every year I see world class pieces at Euro which set the bar really high,you speak about out of this world,well every year I go I see out of this world pieces and this year won't be any different,to receive anything would be a bonus,however i'ver never seen anyone do a group of busts before,so I'm going to be very interested in what sort of reception it gets

Well, I see you have gotten the kind of responses from our
Planeteers, that you certainly deserve. You've taken this bust
a lot farther regarding the grit and grime, the blood, et cetera.
And for me that makes this bust so dramatic. . . . Filled with
dramatic tension and aprehension. Just a beautiful rendering
of the period at that time. I'm now reading Bearnard Cornwell's
first venture into straight history. And the book is "Waterloo". So
I'm really into what you have created here. You sir, are quite
an accomplished artist. Congrat. on a really dynamic
presentation. The Miami Jayhawk

Many thanks my friend for your very kind coments and support for my work,I'm not into pretty parade ground looks for busts and figures but that's just my prefrance,I like my soldiers to have that campaign look about them and I've managed to capture that in this piece thankfully.
Good luck with the book

I just found this link Brian. If you scroll down the book page a bit it appears they didn't.
