From Henry Hyde's collection "Some of my oldest figures: plastic mounted colonels (staff officer AA4) painted up as Prussian-style cuirassiers from the Seven Years War and based for the WRG 1685-1845 rules. These were painted using Humbrol enamels. I've always felt that the mounted officers make great cavalry figures in themselves, these for 'heavies' and the charging officers for 'lights' — in fact, I converted some to lancers. I recently used some more of these figures to create another regiment of cuirassiers for the Sittangbad game The War Gamers put on at Partizan 2006."
