Lancers out of Airfix French Waterloo Cavalry It may have occurred to someone before, but by cutting off the top part of the eagle bearers staff, and inserting point downwards into his hand a long pin, or a small steel needle, you get a lance which can, for safety's sake, be easily taken out. When needed it can be stuck back again. This is just an idea, until Airfix bring out their own lancers. I am not too concerned about the rest of the figure which is still, of course, basically a cuirassier. I am in the process of buying enough boxes of these cavalry to be able to have two squadrons of 25 lancers each, i.e. 50 boxes or so.
