Chris Hindmarsh has painted the two versions - one to look like Sharpe as per the television show and the other depicting Sharpe as described by Bernard Cornwell in the novel: tall, dark haired, and with a savage scar on his left cheek that made him look like an “execution”. \u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe will be following the Sharpe box with similar frames for Harper, Riflemen Harris, and other notable characters from Sharpe’s Rifles.

British Army soldiers and Royal Navy marines had been sent to Concord to seize colonial military supplies and arrest two of their leaders: Samual Adams and John Hancock. Alerted by the riders, militia from all over New England who had been gathering around Boston for just this type of provocation, hurried to meet the British column. The resulting battle lasted for over 12 hours as the soldiers retreated toward Boston and the colonists hounded and harassed them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eTwo months later on June 17th, British forces moved to dislodge the militia from a hastily dug redoubt on Breed’s Hill in nearby Charlestown across Boston Harbor. Almost 5000 troops engaged in a bloody confrontation until a third British assault put the Americans into retreat. Erroneously called “The Battle of Bunker Hill” after a taller hill nearby, it shattered British assumptions that the American militia could never hold their own against professional British troops.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThis hard plastic box set includes enough parts to build 30 28mm Minutemen.
