    This leave I'll be giving my flats a little rest and painting this 54mm resin figure from Legacy Miniatures.

    Makedonomaxos.jpg

    A Greek "Macedonian Fighter" from The Macedonian Struggle 1902-1908.
    More information here, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macedonian_Struggle

    As I'm at sea working I've been busy collecting references. If anyone has anything else that would be useful I would appreciate it.

    I knew Malc was in MI 17, they meet in a small building in Pimlico that is so secret not even the buildings owner knows it exists :whistle::).
    It looks a great figure Roger, enjoy it (y).
    Recently, I met a Dutch Nurse whose Greek boyfriend was living in Scotland o_O, and she made the mistake of asking us about Scotlland :LOL:. We convinced her that a Haggis was a small Scottish bird with one leg shorter than the other so it could run round mountains. We explained that the reason no one ever saw one was because being stupid, when they turned round to go back, they fell over the side. We had her going for a while,but when she realised she introduced us to a Dutch game that comprised of chasing us around the ward with the biggest needle she could find..........................

    Cheers Gary.
    Not wanting to make light of what must have been a pretty tough time for you but I'm looking forward to more "Carry On-esque" hospital anecdotes. Laughter is the best medicine.
