    Very nice subject to go with your Greek collection Roger. (y)
    Yiannis at greekheroes.gr has done a great job with this new figure.
    Considering the scale, it's sculpted with amazing similarity to the real man!

    Some really fine detail for you to work with Roger.
    This is a super figure and you have made a good start with those flesh tones.

    Thanks very much Mike.
    Cochrane didn't exactly cover himself in glory during the Greek Revolution. You get the impression he only went to line his pockets. However there are some interesting Greeks who fought at sea during the revolution, Kanaris, Bouboulina and Miaoulis.

    These are painted versions of the figures from the Greek Heroes website.

    A much more effective British naval participant was Frank Abney Hastings.
