They're busted now, though.  |  IP: Logged Kenneth Wuepper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1026 From: Saginaw, MI, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 01-03-2006 06:59 AM                     Great work, William. We have not been able to isolate who these plaster replicas were. Now we know. I am cerain that these would not be able to be outside as they are very fragile and, as you can see, the glaze is chipping off already. Maybe they used the originals as patterns for these although I think these are much smaller than the originals. KEN  |  IP: Logged
