Here is the Bavarian cavalry division commander for IV Corps. Technically he should have another figure to join him on his base, but it was hard enough creating him, so he's going it alone!
Thanks for the kind words, all! (Though I've noticed that the flash is very unforgiving with flaws; there's some paint flaking off on the tail and blue plastic visible around the saddle! :-0)
James and Will; the officer began life as the Nassau Jaeger officer from the Waterloo 1815 Napoleonic Mounted Line Officers set (http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=1590, 2nd row extreme right) and the head and horse from the Zvezda Napoleonic HQ Staff set (http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=2002, extreme left 3rd & 4th row)
Really like this one, crazy dynamic.

Clever combination and conversion Ben which, aided by your top painting, gives a stunning result!
