    I have just had time to do some observations on the range and spread of the series that are featured in this year's Advent Calendar sketches, and this is quite interesting. 60% of the figures are based on North American based figures/events. 30% are military figures and also most all are...

    Sharpe at Christmas

    Yes, I've read some of those, Iain Gale's 'adventures' of Keane were good and I really enjoyed the Alain Lausard Adventures Series by Richard Howard because it delt with the pre-Napoleonic era and the Egyptian Campaign of 1799 and early battles after Napoleon came to power as Emperor. John

    Meeting Up With One of Sharpe’s 95th Riflemen

    Andy, I'd love to see some more riflemen just like the ones in the TV show, and in relaxed poses like the images of those actors, so maybe that could be for next year????? John

    Maybe John was inspired by this painting for the figure.... The Buffs (3rd Regiment) defend their colours, painted by William Barnes Wollen. The engagement saw the 3rd (East Kent) Regiment of Foot (The Buffs) deployed with Lieutenant-Colonel John Colborne's 1st Brigade. They sustained heavy...

    Great to see a soldier in campaign dress, patches in his trousers, boot with his toes showing, and ever watchful for the Frenchmen. These will be a wonderful addition for collectors wanting the earlier battles on the Peninsular, John
