I find only having 2 or 3 units out at a time stops you having to gaze over everything you have to finish day after day.

Very true!

I actually have the mountain of plastic and lead in an old army barracks box. It is pretty full...  ;)

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

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
