"15/18mm Swedish Nyland Dragoons" Topic

Hope someone can help.
I am building an 1808 Finnish army for the Swedish-Russians war.
I have found some cavalry in bicorns suitable for the Karelian dragoons but am at a loss for the Nyland Dragoons in their shakos.
I would consider head swaps, atlhough the idea of having to but another unit of cavalry just for their heads seems a waste.

Any suggestion gratefully received.

Ok. Was just looking at the uniform. I would have a.look at the British cavalry in the Peninsula in shako from AB miniatures. Scroll down in the link and see if you can do something with them:

Nice idea. moving the plume and with a bit of work I think they would work. Closest I've seen to the right shape shako. Hmmm made me wonder if I could get some infantry to donate their heads….Only need a dozen so woudln't be too bad a project

I built this army too. I believe I used minifig british light dragoons with shako from the french revolution line if you can find them. Imay have some extras if they work for you.

Thanks. Will check them out. I've cobbled together a 3d head. But nor sure the cost of getting it printed is worth it. Will check those minifigs out
