So as best I can tell if I use the Perry Cuirassiers with the Carabineer Head I can make/paint up Saxon Cuirassiers. Is there any noticable differences that I am missing? |

Well, depends of what you want to create, for example at Borodino not all regiments wore the cuirass |

Yes I'm wanting to do the regiment that wore the cuirass |

only the front breastplate?? was worn and think there are more differences as well the helmet.. saddle cloth? if you were serious wouldn't you use the Eureka Zastrow and /or Garde du corp? |

Very noticeable is the difference in epaulettes |

Yeah I just discoverd they only used the front plate, OK scratch that idea. I have an extra Curiassier unit and was trying to find a good conversion unit….guess I'll keep looking or try to trade it for something else Thanks!! |

I seem to recall that the Polish Cuirassiers were very similar in kit to the French. |

Try the Connoisseur Miniatures Saxon Garde du Corps and von Zastrow Cuirassier figures. They are gorgeous sculpts. |

I would recommend the Eureka miniatures.

The Westphalians could be a goer..
