Nick Reynolds of Alabama 3 has an interesting hobby. He makes bronze casts of infamous criminals. One of his prize pieces in the collection is a cast of Chopper Read.

Read is the Australian criminal who turned author and celebrity. His story was told in the movie 'Chopper', starring Eric Bana.

Reynolds has a great collection of bronze villains including one of his own father, Bruce Reynolds. Bruce was the mastermind behind 'The Great Train Robbery'.

Via his father, he also created a figure of the head of Ronnie Biggs, his dad's partner in the crime.

Alabama 3 are best known for their theme song to The Sopranos.

The band will be in Australia next month.

Tour dates are:

Fri 9th Nov - The Toff in Town Melbourne

Sun 11th Nov - The Hi-Fi Bar Melbourne

Wed 14Th Nov - The Basement Sydney
