I totally forgot to reply to this. The link is http://www.classic-castle.com/howto/articles/Torsos.html -
That's the size it came out at when I scanned it.

Rest of the Jena-Auerstaedt torsos: Dragoon: Mounted Scheutzen: Uhlan: Hussar: Artillery: And with that, I think the Napoleonic Wars are finished. Have I missed anything?

Here is the red and white sail from imperial trading post:

it would indeed. UPDATE: Minor countries Officer of Poland: Trooper of Poland: Officer of Sweden: Trooper of Sweden: Officer of Bavaria: Trooper of Bavaria: Officer of Wuertemburg: Trooper of Wuertemburg: Saxon Cuirassier:

Quick update. This is a torso representing the early French Revolutionary armies seen at battles such as Valmy and Arcola. It also comes with legs, which need to be resized separately: Legs template taken from Minifig Customization Network

Exactly how did you put the torso onto the figure? Also, Prussians Musketeer: Fusilier: Grenadier: Jaeger: Cuirassier:

This is pasted from an old post of mine but is still valid: "The Mamelukes' uniform was red trousers, a sort of red fez with a white turban around it, like Zouaves would later wear, a shirt of red, green, yellow or blue, and a waistcoat of red or yellow above it, and a blue sash above that. They carried scimitars and pistols. Although you used a brown head for your Roustam, most Mamelukes were from metropolitan France, especially later on when the number of Egyptians thinned out."
-
The cavalry in particular are excellent. Very Marlburian.
-
The mamelukes were never particularly uniform. Are you looking for an official body to use or wanting to know the best way to make a custom?
-
Excellent army - and very nice to see some of my bodies appearing! Will we be seeing any of your other Napoleonic armies?
-
Now that is something I did not know - The dragoon uniform changed during the Napoleonic wars. I looked it up, and you are correct. Also, looking at the two new bodies, I see you've discovered that the most useful skill for making torsos - re-using things whenever possible!
-
The Swiss are an excellent addition to our range of Napoleonic bodies. Good work.
-
Get rid of them. The new ones will all be better quality. UPDATE: Dragoon officer: Dragoon bugler: Dragoon: Foot artillery: Artillery driver:
-
To clarify this a little, the Napoleonic bodies were the first ones I did, and I think some of them are looking a bit crude nowadays. So I have two lists of upcoming things: Torsos I don't like and want to re-do French artillery and dragoons, Jena-Auerstadt Prussians Things I didn't do / forgot to do Jena-Auerstadt Prussian Cavalry, Various small German states, French Revolutionary troops I'll be starting with the first set.

There seems to be a bit of debate about who wore what in the Napoleonic era, particularly with regards to headgear, so I hope this clears some things up: (note: some of this is pasted from my posts elsewhere) INFANTRY Shakos/chakos/schakos were used by practically all armies of the Napoleonic period, particularly later on, and were used mostly by infantry and light cavalry. Most armies, such as Britain in the Peninsula, Russia up to 1812 and Austria wore the Stovepipe shako or a slight variation of it: France, Brunswick and KGL Dragoons wore the bell-topped shako, which got wider towards the top: British and Netherlands troops at waterloo wore the Belgic shako: Russian troops for Borodino and onwards wore the "Kiwer" shako: Grenadiers wore bearskins, either the cylindrical style, used by France and Britain: Or the "cap" style, used by Austria: Pre-shako Austrian infantry wore a variation of the comb-style helmet. CAVALRY As mentioned before, most light cavalry wore shakos. Uhlans and lancers of all countries, as well as Polish troops, wore the czapka/schapzka: Except for French Line Lancers, who wore the comb helmet. Dragoons and cuirassiers of France and Britain wore the Roman-style helmet: A variation of this was the comb-helmet, worn by Saxon heay cavalry, French carabiniers and British life guards: Hussars wore busbies/dolmans, which resembled French/British bearskins, although they were more square in shape: There was the not-often-used Tarleton Helmet, named for Sir Banastre Tarleton, worn by British light dragoons early on in the Wars, the Rocket Troop and the Royal Horse Artillery: If you have any questions about uniforms, not necessarily headgear, feel free to ask.

Indeed they are. I've now added that to the previous post.
