Trying to get more Peninsular regiments from the various plastic figures available. Could I use the spare Carabinier heads from Perry on their Dragoon bodies to get Westphalian Chevaux Legers?

Could I use the Warlord colpack heads from their Chasseurs on their coated French foot to get Nassau grenadiers?

Are there any other possible combinations?

Isn't that half the fun of plastics 1ngram, mixing and building with these wonderful plastics and as more come more possibilities.
I'm looking at using some bits box legs from WL Gauls and torso heads etc from WGP WSS bits to make some grenzer types (1600-1800 useful troop type:) + glue + bits o green stuff ( my skill with gs leads a lot to be desired but I try :) some paint and a real sense of 'yeah I made these'
Cheers happy building.

I do not think the Westphalian Chevaux Legers would work as they did not wear the heavy boots. The Nassauers would work as long as you only used the elite company bodies with two cross belts and sabre briquette.

Mmmm, maybe the Perry heads could go on the Warlord Chasseurs to get Westphalians?

That would not be far off, even as far as the horse furniture. However, there would have to be a bit of carving to produce the single-breasted coatee.

Or, take the short boots from left-over French hussars (assuming you built the latter with overalls)?
