Detachment of Chosen Men from the 95th Rifles

 
Last month Victoria bought me some packs of British Rifles from Brigade Games, and rather splendid figures they are to paint too.



Somebodies going to get called a "Bastud"



Of course Sharpie needs his Harper.




The second pack is the British Rifles Veterans - Chosen Men set


Rifleman Harris and Rifleman Perkins



Rifleman Cooper and another that I'm not sure of.




I'm basing my skirmishers in pairs, as there are only five in the pack, the "not Daniel Hagman" Cheshire Poacher is joined by a English Bulldog from Warbases to make up the numbers. 




They are a really made for the Peninsular campaign but I think they will not be too out of place for my Hundred Days forces

    Excellent work, Paul! Brings back memories from many years ago when I watched the series.

    These are really very nice and it's quite amazing how a talented culprit can create a 28mm miniature that you can actually recognise as a real person! I am sorely tempted to invest in some of these as my friend embarks on a Sharp Practice Napoleonic skirmish project.....

      Paul has done a great job with these sculpts, did you see my earlier Ducos an Hogan posts, those figures are similarly excelent sculpts

    Beautifully done. I particularly like the figures with the bonnets/forage caps.
    Regards, James

    Lovely looking toys Paul...
    That young Mr Hicks sure knows how to push putty around...

    Great looking Rifles, Scrivs. Looks just like the characters. Clever use of adding the Bulldog to round out the basing.

    Paul,
    Brigade Games is usually my go to and those are some great looking characters - one of the few times Sean Bean actually survives!

      Thank you Nick, I also appear to be missing loads on AHPC, I think it's a full time job keeping up some days :)
