Another figure to swell the ranks of Steve Barbers Greek War of Independence range, this one comissioned by my compatriot in crime in Greece. The figure is of a Greek Irregular.

He could easily be painted as an Albanian in Ottoman service

I've seen so many different images of Albanians, I believe almost everybody with turban and stache could be painted as Albanian. :--)

Excellent miniature btw.
