Re: Which plastic figures would be best to convert to American War of 1812
To add to Steve's reply (riding the coat-tails again! :) )
The heads/hats from the Imex Alamo regulars with peaks removed and a little dob of putty/modelling clay put onto a British line figure does nicely for these Scots'. Now, of course, there are Strelets' figures that can be decapitated.
I missed the artillery in your previous (save for the naval/pirates). For US regulars I simply used converted Airfix British infantry as I did not have any spare RA gunners. British guns are perfect for the field guns.
