Filling in gaps in my 1/72 SYW armies where there are no suitable figures. The HaT SYW Austrian infantry, with effort, make good Hungarians & their heads help convert other figures into suitable cuirassiers. Both the Hungarian infantry & the Prussian Garde du Corps needed a lot of modifying: cutting detail (eg cuffs) off, some green stuff detail, decapitating and replacing heads, changing limbs' positions etc. Still about 10 Hungarian line infantry to do. donald

The Garde du Corps were a cuirassier regiment ie mounted. As I may have mentioned to HaT a few times (cough), their range lacks cavalry especially heavy cavalry. Thus my solution to this glaring omission is is, in the above case, to use Red Box Jacobite horses, Italeri 1805 Prussian cuirassiers & decapitate them to replace their bicorned heads with tricornes form HaT infantry sets (either Austrian or Prussian will do). There's still an accuracy problem with these figures' coat tails. So I would be very happy to see a bespoke HaT set of SYW cuirassiers (which could be used for 3-4 armies).
