Guys a few years ago a company brought out a figure of Lascarina Bouboulina a heroine of the Greek resistance against Turkey, she was a native of the beautiful island of Spetses.
Can anyone remember who and if possible where I might get my hands on one.
Me and the missus ( first wife) went to the island of Spetses 45 years ago and we're planning to go again before I dump her for somebody who shows me a bit more respect.
I'd like to paint the figure for her before her mind goes :LOL:
 
Is it this one mate by Christos Panagiotopoulos?.......http://www.athensminiatures.gr/?lang=en#/image-galleries/gallery-one

Or this one by Greek Heroes Miniatures...

Congratulations to you both Claude. This September it's our 40th, a bunch of us went Island hopping around Greece including Spetses when we were 17. Marie and I were absolutely enchanted and kept going back, hopping around the Aegean and Ionian seas for the next 25 years. Apart from Paxos and Corfu we always simply flew to Athens and then decided where we would go...... the 3 kids loved the adventure.
We've decided to re-visit some of our favourites with Spetses being first on the list.
When we were last there, there was only 2 cars on the island (and one of them didn't work) and as it was the last place where traditional boatbuilding existed in Greece we were lucky enough to see Tim Severin's Argos being built for his 'Jason Voyage.

You take care doing all that hopping at your age, remember to change legs every know and again. My right leg suffered
whilst island hopping in Thailand 2 yrs ago.
I bet they have a lidl as well as an argos now :D enjoy your trip
