Billy Hughes Bust

Working on my first bust was a great challenge...and I'm pleased with what I achieved in 7 days. Rhyl's pointers were welcomed and here's the result.

Created with flickr slideshow.
Thanks to all the organisers, promoters and the Southern Downs Regional Council for purchasing it! I believe it will be stationed on the train platform in Warwick, where as history tells:
'There was a degree of violence unusual in Australian politics, which turned to farce when Hughes, after being struck by an egg on the railway station at Warwick, Queensland, promptly established a Commonwealth police force to combat disloyalty.' para 22
