Would be good to add the heavy Saxon cavalry for 1812 campaign.

Would the later French carabiniers work as a proxy?

Hi Leon
I suspect that they could done with some converting, removing epaulets and a paint job to hide the backplate for the zastrow cuiraasiers and head swaps onto French dragons for the Garde du corps. May need to give it a go. Alternativly some green stuff turban on the Austrian curassiers and Belgian cuirassiers.  Maybe an idea for next years painting competition  :D

No worries, I'll pop them on the requests lists anyway!

I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.
