Hello my friends,
a few months ago I create a Greek infantryman of the Greek Legion that fought at the siege of Sevastopol supporting the Russian army.
Many of you may not now that 500 Greeks(a batallion) participate in that great war.
The scale is 60mm and is total scratch.
He wears a russian army coat and boots and also carries a russian army rifle with poutches, under the coat he wears the traditional Greek clothes of that era and has a medal awarded from the Greek state for bravery during the Independence war against the Turks.
The hat with the white cross was the common thing for all the men that serve the Legion.
The figure is available as a kit by Athens Miniatures.
Thank you.

...and two photos with the putty...

Nice work Christos and from a period not many people know details for Greek Soldiers . Very well done my friend

Costas

Hi Christos!

I like beautiful things and your figure are amazing
The fleshtones are superb and the whites oh my godness...

Very unique subject matter! Keep the Crimean stuff coming!

Very nice piece Christos, yes not a very common subject. Another good subject to consider is the early WW 2 Greek Army against the Italian fascists, the Greek Army as small as it was gave them a very bloody nose when the IT's attacked Greece.

Well done

Thanks for the 'putty' shots!

Costas, Pedro, Steven, Rob and Gordy thank you so much for your compliments.
Rob I have made one subject you mention but I don't have photos except this one:

Very nice sculpt and vibrant colors!

Would love to have an sbs on how you made this one.

Congrats on a very nice, unusual subject!

Thanks Kevin,
I only have one photo during the sculpting process,

Christos, excellent sculpting and painting and a different subject choice.

Cheers Ken

Hi Christos,
As I look at your work so I love you both sculpting and painting to you.
All your questions mostly to smell Greece.


Alexandros

Lovely sculpting and painting Christos, also very unique subject which is nice to see.

Steve

Ken, Steve and Alexandros thank you very much, the Greek history is full of different subjects and pleasant surprizes.

Excallent like always!! I didn't know you did the figure you posted (in green great coat)! I saw it at Euro last year and it was one of my fav's. I had a bunch of pictures of it, but all the pictures I took at Euro are lost somewhere, which is depressing!

Thank you Anders, I also have only a couple of photos of that miniature, will you be at Euro this year?

Nice work Christos,i like mostly the WWII figure.What figure is this?

Nice work on painting and scuplting. I wish I could sculpt.

Thank you Mike and Chris,
Chris this figure probably it's the next figure for Athens Miniatures.

Amazing and perfect finish!
They're very cool in everything.
I liked it very much.
I congratulate completion.
