Napoleonic Casualties?

[grahambeyrout]

I might be flogging a dead hat here, but since no-one seems to like my suggestion about hatless casualties which I felt allowed a more generic and hence a more versatile approach, what about casualties with multiple headgear instead. One has a standard prone casualty  figure without headgear. On the base somewhere near the body lies say three types of headgear, perhaps  helmet, shako, bearskin. Two of these could be cut/filed away by the purchaser, leaving whatever is desired.

Rather like the existing AWI casualty figures?

[Leon]

We raised that option with the sculptor but he preferred to do them on the figure.  There's nothing really stopping us from putting hats on sprues and selling them as a separate item though.

[Last Hussar]

That's a good idea.

Sculptor just wants extra work!

[Zippee]

Nothing against hats on sprues, useful for all sorts of things but there's more to the differences between uniforms than just hats (although hats are a biggie0

backpacks, cut of the coat and length, gaiters/trousers/shorts and sandals, etc

and that's without worrying about details like epaulettes!

you're still probably doing a hatless dummy for each major nationality with accompanying sprue, so:
Austrian style figure - sprue with helmet, shako, bearskin
French style figure - sprue with shako, hat, bearskin
British style figure - sprue with belgic or stovepipe shako [probably still need a highlander though, can't be having separate sprues of kilts!]
etc. etc.
and then you still need the lesser states in helmet and bicorn, etc
