Excellent work Mike, especially the grenzers. How did you make their heads?

The heads are a cheat - the set had heads in with the old tall false-fronted shako. I just trimmed it down a bit and put it on all the line figures.
On the artillery the heads are from the Early French set or its Supreme knock-off, and actually now I look closer they are some on AH infantry bodies and some on AIP Nap French crew.

I have seen these in the flesh and they are rather splendid, shame they don't get more outings  |

Stunning Mike! Simply Stunning! I came across your work via photobucket a time ago, and been a fan eversince!
Love the Leizpig wargame you played and all your conversions! I am also building an Austrian army for my 1809 campaign, have loads of both of the Italeri sets but for cavalry and artillery and command figures I also convert and need to convert. Your work is a big inspiration to me! Thanks for sharing!

Some artillery, from Italeri infantry. I can identify the officer as Italeri French line infantry officer but are they others armies in plastic? And what set are they if I may ask? |

Thanks for the kind words - would love to see your work here. French Napoleonic I think. |
