Greek/Balkan heroine loading musket New 28mm green for GWI
« on: 20 October 2014, 06:56:13 PM »
Another sculpt by Steve Barber for the growing Greek War of Independence range, this green portrays a Greek heroine loading a musket. The sculpt was based around images of Bouboulina.
During the war Greek women were frequently found on the battlefield loading for their men, whilst on the islands some Greek women took a more active part in the fighting.

I like it; these little details will add to the game greatly. She looks so angry!
