The eternal quest for SYW cavalry in 1/72......
From a suggestion of a smart chap @ Bennos, I acquired boxes of Zvevda's GNW Swedish Dragoons & Nap. Saxon Cuirassiers.
Enter: Dr Frankenstein. Head & legs of the Dragoons, body & horse of the Cuirassiers & *Presto* SYW Austrian cuirassiers.Throw in some carving off of superfluous detail & excess horse flesh.
Three mostly done, nine figures to go.
NB this does NOT get HaT off the hook. This approach is costly, time consuming and not 100% historically accurate.
I'm still hoping for HaT to come to the SYW cavalry party but these will help fill the gap.

Excellent effort.

Nicely chopped & stitched. I'd have lost fingers trying that, well done Donald.
