Bullseye, you nailed the music Roger.
It takes a couple of listenings to but it's growing on me.

Absolutely perfect Rog.Petrolukas is a living legend of Greek traditional music and all your choices are right on the mark.Are you sure you're not a tiny bit of a Greek?Remotely even?You're certainly up for that citizenship I mentioned earlier.
Oda.
They maybe put something in the food in the Greek Islands so when you go home you're a tiny bit Greek.

I've just got a base coat of flesh on Bob so I'm up and running.
You should run if you gave Bob a coat of flesh !
It kinda explains his avatar too.
Looks a good choice of figure Roger

Cheers Bob, you need the right music for the figure though, you'd probably need the Sharpe soundtrack at the moment.

Not far to go now. Touch up's and refining some of the details should see it finished.

Beautiful figure and very nicely painted........If you like Greek subjects of the revolutionary war think of Y.S. masterpieces......
I think Pegaso issued few yrs ago a figure of Botsaris as well!
Keep up the great work !

Very nice painting Roger, especially on the reds and whites which are difficult to paint in 54mm without looking monotone.
Detailed work on the shoes too!
One comment only, the hair color should normally be black as it is in 99% of Greek men.
YS Masterpieces is an excellent choice if you want to paint some big scale busts of the Greek independence war heroes.

Thank you Trex. As far as I am aware Botsaris was in the 1% of Greek men that had fair hair!
Big scale busts? Hmm not quite.
You should be able to work it out now.

Correction...This is Botsaris in a pretty much "artistic image" form Masterclass Models 75mm painted by Danillo Cartacci.

That is a beautiful piece of work, sculpting and painting.

The person who designed the miniature(designer but not sculptor),told me that he has actually contacted the descendants of the Botzaris family who assured him that there has always been a blond streak in the family and they were absolutely sure that Markos and his brother Kostas,a later general in the regular army of the kingdom of Greece under the Vitelsbach dynasty,were actually fairhaired,a fact that has eluded many artists through the years.So,Roger,you get 12 points for historical research and accuracy.

That's good enough for me then.
