Here is my version of a member of the British 95th Rifles. These guys were reknowned for their unconventional skirmish warfare practices during the wars of the Napoleonic era, utilising sharpshooter tactics to eliminate the command elements of enemy formations. Most people will know of this unit due to the Sharpe television series.

Anyway here he is:



And a different angle:



The body is hand painted and the rifle is a modified brickarms rifle.

I want that rifle! He is amazing at hand painting stuff!

[NewRight]

Beautiful work.
An excellent addition to the group of Pirate customs out there.

[SWMAN]

Very cool. I love all the detail.

[Captain Blackmoor]

I've heard of those sneaky elite infantry units, and I know how they look like and this is a perfect copy! If that torso really is hand-painted, he has done an amazing job!
The rifle looks awesome as well. But I miss some epaulettes here, the original units had white epaulettes.

[Kaptein Rob]

I've read about those too. the soldier looks really good! love it

Very fine adaptation of a riflemen. The amazing is that Jasbrick is doing all that with painting (also the torso I think).

Andreas

[Commander Laquiet]

This is a wonderful custom!

I like the shako!

Torso and rifle look awesome too.

How did you paint that torso so well?

[Captain Blue Hair]

Jasbrick strikes again!
What an amazing piece of work, kudos!

[Dr. Steve]

Wow! Great Job, love the whole minifig, especially the arm and shako...AMAZING!

Great Riflemen
Here's forty shillings on the drum
For those who'll volunteer to come
To 'list and fight the foe today.
Over the hills and far away.

O'er the hills and o'er the main.
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain.
King George commands and we obey.
Over the hills and far away.

When duty calls me I must go
To stand and face another foe.
But part of me will always stray
Over the hills and far away.

Brilliant Creation!

[Captain Blackmoor]

That song makes me think of the movie "The Patriot." Awesome movie.

Yes, But that songs about the British pride rather than us fighting America, then backing out which isnt losing.

But yes, That song is brilliant. The British Grenadiers is quite a good tune too.

I was a BIG fan of Sharpe's when I was a kid. Any chance you could make one for me? I'd love to have one just "because". What would it cost?
