This will be my next project. A white metal 60mm figure from http://www.greekheroes.gr/
Here's a link to his biography on wikipedia,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odysseas_Androutsos

I don't usually bring figures back to sea with me but I made an exception in this case as it will allow me to prepare and prime it before making a proper start at home on leave. I may even get a acrylic base coat on in some areas.

It takes an age to upload photo's on the ships wifi so this might take a few posts as I've done a kind of open box review to kick this off.

The box.

Looking forward to you putting paint on this.

Thanks very much Bob, so am I.


In the box we have an A4 sheet of paper with information and illustrations regarding Androutsos. Also a small nameplate for the base and notification that the figure has passed quality control. Nice touches that add to what is a wonderfully designed, sculpted and cast figure photo's of which are to follow.

The figure itself consists of 5 parts.
Left arm holding "Asimo" Androutsos' sword.

Right arm holding musket, torso and legs, head and cloak and the base (not photographed).

Lovely kit Roger !

Enjoy.

Very nice piece Roger.
A good few little half hidden bits to make it interesting to paint.
Looking forward to watch him take shape.
All the best

Thanks for the comments everyone. The weather has taken a turn for the worse here so hoping for a couple of easy days as far as work goes and if it doesn't get too bad I might be able to put some paint down.

A legendary personage.A man of immense physical strength and martial valour but also a great strategist.A born leader of men much maligned by later historians.This is a wonderful miniature (I should know for I too have it in my GA) and I can't wait to see it painted by you Rog.

Oda.

Thank you Oda, I was hoping to do some today but work is getting in the way.

Back into rounds ay Roger, hope you haven't deserted

looks a nice figure

Cheers Nick.
No I haven't completely deserted I still have some flat projects underway.
This is a subject and figures I have very quickly come to love, I think I have room for both these and flats.

Must be all that Ouzo you neck

You of all people know how important research is Richie.

i tought that we lost him forever, but still some chance that someone will engrave this period

Don't worry Jozef.
