Figurehead suggestions?

Greetings! i am sliding over here from the 'Ships' section, as I think you guys might have some good information and suggestions.... I am currently building a 1/150 scale French 74 gun Napoleonic warship, but the figurehead provided is really crappy. I would like to replace it with a 1/50 (30mm) figure that could be modified to fit in the same place, which would require cutting a slot out of the back in order to fit it on the prow. As the ship is named 'Glorieux,' I thought perhaps a dramatic looking Roman general, or perhaps some equally dramatic mythological figure might work, but I am having little or no luck finding a site with photos of the figures to determine if they might be suitable. For some reason, 30 mm figures seem to be pretty scarce, but if the figure is dramatic enough, even a 25mm figure might do.... Does anyone have any suggestions for sourcing and/or photos of anything like this that they could share?
