I've been working on my stash of late Napoleonic cavalry sets recently, creating table-top units for various armies in the 1813-15 period, and have 're-discovered' the very early HaT Uhlans and Dragoons sets. The historical accuracy of these sets, with troopers wearing the litewka coat, is still quite good. However, the sculpting and overall size of the figures and also the horses is somewhat poor, and I'm on the verge of consigning these to the 'retirement box' and going with some (extensive) conversions of other figures instead.
Given the excitement around a possible future set of Dutch and/or Belgian 1815 carabiniers on this site, I'm wondering whether there is an appetite for a generic set of late Napoleonic Prussian cavalry? By generic I mean: troopers wearing litewkas, shakos with covers, Prussian dragoon/uhlan horse furniture, optional arms (with either sabre or lance) to allow the set to be built as either dragoons or line uhlans, and some spare heads with British style stovepipe shakos to allow Landwehr cavalry also to be modelled from this set. The set would also feature one figure wearing the Kollet jacket, allowing an officer to be created.
With 12 or perhaps even 15 figures to a box, these would ideally be a similar size and style to the existing Prussian hussars set.
