Bet that they could be converted to British 60th and 95th Riflemen as the weapon and sword are the same and the rifleman usually obtained calfskin backpacks off the enemy (as they were more comfortable) in Spain. For Waterloo could replace backpack with regulation trotter version Would need a stovepipe hat and remove some of the lanyard from the body. Would need a waist-belt and pouch fashioned out of modelling putty too - maybe this can be my next project, Regards, Dave

Dave the only problem with these figures for conversions is that the tassels from the shako chords drape down onto the figures body, so these would have to be removed with a sharp hobby knife and the detail below would have to be reworked.
This has kept me from using them as conversion bodies a few times already.
These are great figures though lets hope that Hat keeps the infantry sets coming after they venture into cavalry if we see any new figures at all???
I hear it takes like a year to get a set done in china, so I,m not even sure we,ll see any new figures for at least another year????
hi Fish
will have a crack at a conversion
regards
Dave
Don,t forget to snap some pics when done!
