- Richard Sharpe and the 95th Rifles receive a #lego (& LEGO-Compatible) recreation of almost all the characters from the 1990s TV series, to the classic accompaniment of Over the Hills and Far Away by John Tams, who played Daniel Hagman in the series. No copyright infringement intended, only a tribute to the series and song, which is one of my favourite! #napoleonicwars #sharpe

In this video is:
Richard Sharpe
Pat Harper
Dan Hagman
Harris
Isaiah Tongue
Ben Perkins
Francis Cooper
William Fredrickson
Sir Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington
Michael Hogan
Obadiah Hakeswill
Harry Price
Nairn

Pierre Ducos
Michel Debreton
Private Clayton and Sally Clayton
Lord John Rossendale
Ramona Harper
Brian Windham

Lucille Castineau
Lieutenant Ayres
Rifleman Skillimore
This video also features photos related to the Battle of Talavera (1809) and the Siege of Badajoz (1812), which are depicted in Sharpe's Eagle and Sharpe's Company. You can read about the Siege of Badajoz, represented in LEGO by looking at my blog: www.napoleonic-bricks.com/202...
For those who never watched Sharpe, it follows Richard Sharpe as he is promoted from the ranks for saving Sir Arthur Wellesley's life in Portugal during the Peninsular War. He raises through the ranks and fights in major battles, before fighting finally at the Battle of Waterloo.
The minifigures used in this are a mixture of LEGO Custom Napoleonic Wars torsos, and the excellent Napoleonic Wars line available on aliexpress. Take a look at my pinned comment for information on where to buy.
Lyrics to Over the Hills and Far Away - Sharpe themetune by John Tams.
There's forty shillings on the drum,
To those who volunteer to come,
To 'list and fight the foe today
Over the Hills and far away.
O'er the hills and o'er the main
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain
King George commands and we obey
Over the hills and far away
When duty calls me I must go
To stand and face another foe
But part of me will always stray
Over the hills and far away
O'er the hills and o'er the main
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain
King George commands and we obey
Over the hills and far away
(Interlude)
If I should fall to rise no more
As many comrades did before
Then ask the pipes and drums to play
Over the hills and far away
O'er the hills and o'er the main
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain
King George commands and we obey
Over the hills and far away
Then fall in lads behind the drum
With colours blazing like the sun
Along the road to come what may
Over the hills and far away
O'er the hills and o'er the main
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain
King George commands and we obey
Over the hills and far away
O'er the hills and o'er the main
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain
King George commands and we obey
Over the hills and far away
O'er the hills and o'er the main
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain
King George commands and we obey
Over the hills and far away
O'er the hills and o'er the main
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain
King George commands and we obey
Over the hills and far away - Krátké a kreslené filmy

The whole cast of Sharpe’s Rifles depicted in Lego form? Now that’s soldiering!
Thanks! I did also make Lawford from the Simmerson Vs Wellesley argument, but missed him out of the final edit 😟
That’s lego-ing 😂
Now that's building!
@@QuackingFilmsDid Lego make mini figures of Napoleonic war soldiers
its from alliexpress
Sharpe characters made with custom Lego? Now that's legoing!
😂
Even in LEGO form, Perkin's death scene is still a tearjerker.
Mothers never leave ye'!
The fact that Sharpe is punching Hakeswill is the best thing I have seen for ages. Now, thats soldiering.
Had to do it. Says so in the scriptures.
Recreating in Lego such details as to immediately recall Scenes - Now that's Soldiering!!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it and recognised the scenes! 🙂
Ducos looks so cheerful
Haha I was a bit restricted on flesh heads with glasses! Maybe should have gone for after he'd had them stepped on 😄
You´ve just made my night! Crying with laughter over Hakeswell and his hat, and, well, just crying over the death of Perkins. You are a genius!
Thank you! I'm glad you loved it so much! I also have a Wellington Vs Simmerson stop motion on my channel if you'd like to take a look 🙂
That's bloody soldiering. Phenomenal.
Thank you! And for the appropriate wording! 😉
We just discovered Sharpe and love it! This is an amazing video that makes us want to watch Sharpe again! Would love more Sharpe videos. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it! Stay tuned for more! 🙂
I love this. Especially Sharpe punching Hakeswill.
Says so in the scriptures!
2:41 “MOTHER!”
😂
One of my all time favorite series. Just started rewatching it AGAIN. AWESOME WORK, very well done. Thank you for sharing
I would have loved to have seen the French double act of Calvet and Gaston
"In Russia, I ate one of my corporals."
Now this is soldiering
Thank you!
I never thought I needed this in my life, I was wrong I definitely do.
Haha, hopefully more to come 🙂
Outstanding. (Though I was hoping to see Sharpe getting his Eagle.) Keep up the good work!
I just happen to have got a minifigure-scale Eagle - so it could still happen! :)
Ine of my fave series, well done lad
Thanks Jed! One of mine too and I've wanted to make a video to this tune for a long time - so glad it finally happened! Thanks for watching :)
This was extremely well done, says so in the scriptures!
Its great to see the cast of Sharpe in Lego form.
Thank you! I created as many as I could, but poor Lawford got forgotten in the final edit after I took a picture of him! Will post the picture at some point on my community tab🙂
@@QuackingFilms sure
Absolutely epic
Thank you! I've just uploaded a Battle of Talavera stop motion too if you're interested, and also have Wellesley Vs Simmerson on my channel too 🙂
This was amazing and I wish I could have a legal lego set of this
You nailed it, my good sir!!!
Effing AWESOME.
I'm pleased with that review! Thank you! :)
Love this
This is a great tribute to sharpe and an amazing video as well I hope to see more videos 🤞🎉
Thank you! Hope to release something else Sharpe related in the not too distant future 🙂
Oh how cute I love the sharpe videos
Lovely
Thanks!
I'm quite attracted to the Lego Sharpe figure, just like Sean Bean in real life 😳 ❤
My wife says he's my man crush, and thinks so even more now I've dedicated many hours of my life to making this!
great video!
Thanks Metallfan! 🙂😮
Your attention to detail and ability to recreate those scenes from the show are fantastic! Would you ever consider doing a stop motion Lego recreation of a scene with these?
Thank you so much! I have an idea of a condensed episode/scene that would be impressive and transfer well and practically to stop motion, so hope to give it a go soon - these were almost concept photos for that I guess 🙂
@@QuackingFilms awesome! Well I’m looking forward to it whenever you get to it! In the meantime, you’ve another subscriber
Sweet!
Amazing!
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
*Noice :)*
Thank you!
Fantastic! Thank you!
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Excellent. Just excellent.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for making this!!
Thank you for your hard work
My pleasure - thank you for watching it! :)
I always wondered what had happened to Tongue in the series, I either missed his death or he just disappeared suddenly. XD
Genial!
Great job :)
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
I that was pretty damn good!! I enjoyed that! So will my wife she's a proper Sharpe fan too!!😂
Thank you! I hope she enjoys it too 🙂
Only thing I'll say is ducos looks way to happy, he looks terrifying like that.
Brilliant!
Thank you!
Very nice. Now for a sharpe stop motion! I love your brickington sails forth series.
I have an idea for a particular scene or condensed episode that would be practical and work well, so hope to release something in the not so distant future. These were partly concept shots of how it would look, as well as just wanting to create something to this tune 🙂. Thank you!
Well done!
Thank you!
Amazing 😂
Nice 😊!
Thank you!
I like it ❤
Thank you!
Now u just need to make 14parts
A tip of the shako to you, messieurs.
Splendid but what about Major Lenox? He answered with his life defending the King's Colours.
Thanks! Check out my latest video for what happened to Major Lennox! 😉
@@QuackingFilms Oh, you have one just for him? Already on it ❤
@@GrandAdmThrawn Well, he doesn't feature as a minifigure but his name certainly does with Wellesley Vs Simmerson remake! 🙂
@@QuackingFilms Simmerson the Weasel xD
Just added this to my lego animating music playlist! Well done with this! I'm suprised I've never heard of Sharpe's RIfle's, would you recommend it?
Where can I buy a full set of Sharpe and the chosen men please?!?!
Hi, I write an article with links about how I made these at www.napoleonic-bricks.com/2023/03/i-made-sharpes-rifles-in-lego-heres-how.html?m=1
The 95thnfigures are easy to get, it's just a case of then finding the right heads and hair 🙂
No Runsiman?! 😮
Apologies to the Wagonmaster General for his lack of inclusion!!
awsome channel channel but i think you should of used yellow heads
Thank you! I like to use yellow heads for things which are my own creations and flesh for ones like this that are based on a real film or TV series. Yellow might have given me.a bit more choice though!
that true i just never seen use flesh heads for some time but your lego pirate themed stuff is awsome! especially your first video
I bet they're bricking it
Haha, nice!
S&B
I love this series but the books are way better
I'm working my way through the books after a being a long time fan of the TV series. It's interesting to see the differences in some of the characters!
CHOSEN man?????
I followed the link from your Insta
Thank you! Glad to know it works, and hope it was worth it 🙂
@@QuackingFilms I enjoyed every bit, this is really well done! Thank you, for sharing it with us!
