I confess to getting tired of waiting for HaT to release their 1808 set, so I head-swapped a few onto the 1805 set. More here on my blog:

Thanks for posting some close up pics. Excellent work! I've been thinking about doing the head swap on the greatcoat figures myself.

Not sure if it's bad form or not but…Are you aware of Benno's Figure Forum? It is largely devoted to 1/72's and I know that pictures of your work would be widely appreciated there

Thanks, Davbenbak. I do know of Benno's forum and am actually registered but never seem to get there! I'll try.
Because of the open collar on the greatcoat the head swap works pretty well – not too tricky.
