I would not aim for that, do a general (and not realistic) 18 mm scale, regardless of light or heavy cavalry, or light or line infantry for the troopers. I found out that – at least for me – that looks very acceptable for a miniature. For the horses, I would as AB does make – a difference between heavy and light cavalry. |

I know your position. I followed this and now I am in dead end and must return to 1:100 scale before too late. |

A very interesting and tricky subject Sho. Glad your the sculptor and not me! |

You just not tried to sculpt yet, Paul. Everybody, who have eye to paint, usually have eye to sculpt too, as I recognized. |

If you are going to vary the heights of the riders then you could keep the horse's heights the same. It would be nice if the heavy cavalry horses were bigger across the rump and around the girth (deeper chests?) than the light cavalry horses. Extra complexity: - Russian-ponies for 1813-1814. - Heavy field artillery draught horses – 18 hands and large rumps and girths. - Pre 1750's – horses with smaller heads, larger rumps/girth/chest – shorter legs. Someone once told me that a horse's rump should resemble an apple turned on it's side – all the power is in the rump. |

Unfortunately, there are Davids and Goliaths in every period. link
