The design doesn't really do it for me either, there are a few other parts in the design I feel are wrong, but I am also not sure if it is meant to be a replica or an artistic impression. George is a fantastic artist, his work has been shown all over the place (incl. the Luau), his work in polystyrene is really cool and there is talk of him carving a new "Whare" (sp?) in London at some point.
