Heres another headswap I did today. The body is a French Elite Hussar trooper and the head is from a Dutch cavalry trumpeter I had lying around. I painted him as an ADC to Murat. I know, lots of little mistakes, like the sash etc, but he will have to do;) I think I might do more Hussars in bicorne as various ADCs, kind of like the look of it.. Anyway, thanks for looking. And any and all advice on painting is much appreciated! Cheers! Dr J ‌image by Erik Salvador, on Flickr

Thanks guys:) Ah, Dorsenne, my bad! And I have even been to Napoli, so I know I should get it right!;) Ps: I will be doing some Napoletano guides and guards as well soon.

comparing your three excellent conversions, this is my favourite so far, must be the hat.

Dorsenne, the " Napolitano" spelling was probably appropriate 200 years ago; (based on the local dialect, Napulitane is probably more correct). I know people,with the surname Napolitano, whose ancestors originally came from Naples. The Napoletano version is, I believe, a modern Italian spelling. The evolution of language is nearly as fascinating as wargaming!
