In the great series of books by Bernard Cornwell set mainly during the Napoleonic wars and the television series based upon them, a young private named Richard Sharpe rose from the ranks to become a man respected by his men and feared by his enemies.

So taking information from the books and TV "films" I went about recreating the characters in Lego form. Starting with Richard Sharpe and just a handful of his men I now have several large units of infantry, artillery and cavalry, and decided to put some photos and information about them on this web-site mainly so that my friends can see what it's all about.

I have used artistic licence and taken the characters I liked best from the books/TV "films". I created most of these figures before finishing the Sharpe series, and stopped taking notes for future ideas - If you have any ideas for characters I could make and a description please email me, as I have now read the Starbuck Chronicles, Grail Quest series, Warlord trilogy and several other Bernard Cornwell novels, and have forgotten a lot of the characters form Sharpe.

Enjoy - and check out the books

December - February 2004 - Well, just over a year since I first made "Lego Sharpe - Friends & Foe" and I felt it was time for a 3rd and definitive makeover. Not only has the whole look changed, but also every single photo has been retaken and optimised to speed the site up as best I can.... Enjoy.
