I needed a Ludwig Adolf Wilhelm Freiherr von Lützow figure to command my von Lutzowers. So a quick conversion was needed.
Using a recast Prussian Hussar as the starting point I used my dremmel to remove the carbine and fashion a small pouch at the end if the cross belt.
I then added the buttons down the trouser using the point of a file. I then bent the sword arm so the sword was at porte rather than straight ahead in a charging pose as this more a officer inspiring his troops.
Finally I cut off the head and replaced it with a Prussian Guard Officers head with feathered shako.
All in all not to complex a conversion.

Bravo! He's going to look rather flash in hussar costume, Mark.
Nicely done Mark, looking forward to seeing him painted!
But a loveky one, Can't wait to see the finished article!
Nice work there Mark, to quote Eric Morecombe "You can't see the join" !
Hi WM
I was inspired by seeing your Von Lutzow in person in Sedbergh.
Hopefully he will not take too long. I also have a recast Blucher on the go.
I only use recast figures conversions as I have not plucked up the courage to try it on an original figure.
I hope to have him done by next weekend.
And to para phrase Eric.
I will be painting all the right colours, but not necessarily in the right order
