Historical Description

The hoplite was a heavily armed infantry soldier of ancient Greece, whose distinctive equipment included armor, a Corinthian helmet, spear (doru), and a large round shield (hoplon). Hoplites formed the backbone of Greek armies from the 8th to the early 4th centuries BC (the classical period of ancient Greece). They gained fame in Persian wars such as Marathon (490 BC) and Thermopylae (480 BC). The phalanx formation used by hoplites was a symbol of discipline and courage. The Young Miniatures bust faithfully reproduces historical details of the weaponry and attire in line with archaeological findings.

Quality and Set Components

The model is made of high-grade resin, ensuring exceptionally sharp detail—metal textures, leather straps, and armor decorations are all meticulously rendered. Thanks to the large 1/10 scale, even the smallest details of the face, beard, or hair are captured with the highest precision. The set consists of several parts for self-assembly and requires cyanoacrylate glue. Note: the manufacturer does not include paints, allowing modelers a wide scope for creativity during painting.
