Jasbrick Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 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. Jasbrick Quote
Tanotrooper Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 Very nice work, beautifully painted as usual. My opinion is the rifle is a tad too long, since these were really short weapons. How did you make the rifle's flintlock? TT Quote
Raven Brickroft Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 Painted? Wow. That's great craftsmanship there. Quote
keetong Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 I swear that looked like one TLG had made in the factories. Great painting, nice flintlock on the rifle. Quote
Scouty Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Very nice. Funny thing is, Ive been watching the Sharpe series lately . Anyway, one this is, is that the sash would typically be worn under the belt, or rather before it. I think. Quote
Zorro Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 This soldier looks amazing! I'll make a copy of this thread into the Pirates forum! Quote
Captain Zuloo Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 I'll make a copy of this thread into the Pirates forum! Sounds good Zorro. Certainly Classic-Pirates.com frontpage quality! Quote

Sash would usually be worn over the belt, so no belt was to be seen although this would usually be with officers. TT Quote
General Armendariz Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Seeing this picture, you did a fine job! Looks exactly like them. Quote

Lt. Col. Thok Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Very nicely done! Now, is he in the 95th or the South Essex? Kudos on the flintlock. Quote
