What 1/72nd scale plastic figures would work best to represent Nutcracker figures?
Those toy soldiers that appear at Christmas time based on the Nutcracker Ballet. My hope is to be able to simply use paint conversion techniques rather than have to actually convert the plastic parts. Thanks. Mike Bunkermeister Creek

I'd say Napoleonic figs standing at attention would be easiest, but I don't do Napoleonics to be able to add more than this to your quest.
Sounds fun though! |

Definitely find some with plumes, lots of cords on the shako but simple backpacks.
Maybe French young guard or voltigiers |

G'Day Mike Best figures from Airfix would be the following in a box: Airfix – Set 01744 – Waterloo French Infantry O Bulgar and drummer standing at attention (1 each in a box)
O Mounted officer (1 in a box)
O soldiers marching at right shoulder arms (6 figures) For the mounted officer, add small rockers to the horse to make it look like a rocking horse. The Christmas mounted nutcrackers are on rocking horses that I have seen. Best Regards and have fun -Brilliant Art |

I agree with Art above. The Airfix Waterloo French Infantry would fit the bill. However I do love these figures, though they're 28mm
