More Mycenaeans! I picked up three more Mycenaean Greeks off of ebay. Beneath the base of each it reads "St. George Cross."

There is a third one that I will upload later.

Three sets by Henry Heyer of Creative Designs came in today's mail. The first are Cretans, which are completely new to my collection.

Enjoy.

Lately, I have been trying to expand my collection of ancient Greeks.
I have been gathering Frontline's ancient Greeks.

Hi Mike....The Pestana figures are neat. He does beautiful work. I bought some figures from a person who turned out to be his daughter. He is alive and well and still does his thing, which includes ships for 54mm soldiers.

Joe,
You will get to see Pestana's work first hand. Two of his Evzones arrived damaged. You should see them next week.

Have you checked out my profile? You can press on "MikeNick" to get to it. There you should find my albums.
Ciao,

Mike that is a great looking 1912 Greek Evzone. Did your friend in Greece say who he commisioned it from?

That would be me.

That would be me.

Martin,
Hi.
I like your work.
Will you be making any more copies of the 1912 Evzone?

My friend Joe DeMarco of Avon Toy Soldiers made these Greek WW1 infantry wearing the Adrian helmet. Nice!

The above figures arrived while I was up North: Admiral Kunduriotis, King Konstantine I, Kolokotronis, and a large Greek Evzone. All very nice.

Fortunately, I picked up this limited edition set of WW1 Greek Infantry by Tommy Atkins.

I picked up this set of Dorset Evzones presenting arms. Their pose brings depth to my collection.

Hi.
This set of Greeks 1860 arrived from Dorset.

I also picked up what appears to be Mignot Evzones but not in the typical uniform color. I think also that the rifles must have been sawed off. Nonetheless, I have never seen them in the present Mignot catalog and the seller advertised them as being produced prior to 1950.

Lastly, I picked up another set of CBG Mignot Greek Infantry WW1. They are advancing with an officer in the lead. The present Mignot does not list this set. Older catalogs do. I wonder though about the officer since the bedroll going over his shoulder seems Russian in design.

Hello.
C.B.G. Mignot seems to have produced some WWI Greek Infantry that no longer appears in the famous red book of their collection. Notice the red stripe down the side of the pants. I have never seen this before.

Recently, these figures arrived from Dorset: Greek Patriots 1821.

Refreshing to see the variety of soldiers you are managing to find - in pursuit of your theme Mike. All so different - and yet all nicely depicted. Well done - keep looking. jb

Hi.
I just received this figure in the mail. It is of an Evzone and the base reads "DC France", not "CBG" so it can not be a Mignot. The manufacturer was Domage et Cie.

MikeNick, I have been following your collection and I am impressed with the focus yet wide variety you have been able to accumulate. I was wondering if you have the Honour Bound Greek mercenaries from their Shores of Tripoli series? There are 3 Greeks and they are quite colorful and animated. -- Al
