40mm Sharpe's Rifles?
« on: March 12, 2010, 07:05:18 AM »
I seem to remember having seen some quite nice 40mm miniatures depicting Sharpe and his Riflemen but simply cannot find them anymore.

Who manufactures them?

 
???

Perry Miniatures have 40mm Penisular War figures:

No one that is distinctly Sharpe or Harper, though.

With the Perrys carrying the arguably most beautiful range of 40mm Napoleonics :-* you're probably aiming at Sash & Saber?



Don't know if they are still in service, though.

I have some of them painted in my member gallery. At least one of them (the prone rifleman) are Perry





I've also painted up some opponents.



As you can see, the two lines mix fairly well. I have some Flashing Blade cacadores to eventually paint up also.

Ok,
you are looking for the Models from Jim Bowen. To order, if still produced, you have to send him a mail. Try also the stuff from HLBS. Funny, never had the idea, that you like this stuff...
