Adventures in PovRay - Part 2

If you've read my first PovRay article, you'll know how much I love this free ray-tracing program. I'm also a big fan of the work of British sculptor Antony Gormley, particularly his piece 'Field', which I was lucky enough to see at the British Museum several years ago. For those not familiar with his work, here's a photograph of Field:

Field is made up of thousands of small terracotta figures, most of which are not sculpted by the artist himself, but by volunteers, school children, etc. They follow a rough design, but every figure is unique; this isn't a mechanical placement of identical objects, it's a much more organic and haphazard experience, which is what makes it so compelling.

Finding myself with a few hours to spare recently I set myself the challenge of reproducing Gormley's Field, using my very limited PovRay experience. Here's the end result:
