No, they are Cuirassier heads, the top trimmed off, plume reattached, with greenstuff to change them into the correct helmet.

Post by: pedro on 17 May 2013, 12:14:40 PM: I'm trying to make some dragoons and chevaux leger for my bavarian army, but I wasn't getting very far with my conversions, and this helmet can be the solution I was looking for...

cheers
Pedro
