Georgios Karaiskakis

[billyturnip]

On this day, 23rd April 1827, Georgios Karaskakis was fatally wounded in battle during the Greek War of Independence.
23rd April is also Karaisakis' name day.

Paul.

Thank you Paul.
I'm hoping the significance of the Greek name day for Georgios isn't lost on any Englishmen who are reading this and that football fans will also recognise the name.

Well,...I'm guessing it's a flat because that's what you do and also the straight on pics.....but whatever; it's just a terrific piece of paintwork.

Fine work all round (see what I did there ) mate.
It'd be great to see the pieces you've done on this theme grouped together.

Great work all around. The portrait on the base is a nice touch as well.

Thank you very much Derek... and yes that was very clever.

It'd be great to see the pieces you've done on this theme grouped together.

If you could have been bothered to come to S&L instead of swanning off elsewhere you would have done.

Great work all around. The portrait on the base is a nice touch as well.

Thank you Michael. The little nameplates with the portraits actually come with the kits, a very nice touch.
