Yes, if I was doing a 30YW project I might be a bit happier with chopping figures about. Alas my P&S figures are all 15mm, so I'm looking for figures IU can use within this period. I happily swap hats (my original 40 year old WoSS armies use Airfix Washington's Army, with spare tricorns swapped onto absolutely anything!), but I think that with heads the direction is important, if the sculpting is any good. Regardless of the possibilities, I think I'll hold on for a month or two and see what emerges.
'Tis an exciting time to be alive, if you are a lover of 1/72 figures.
I'm not sure even judicious trimming would make figures from this end of the 17thC do for figures from the 30YW and ECW.
The main problem is that coats at the time of WSS were fundamentally different - bigger cuffs (much bigger cuffs) and the overall length of the coat itself. Much longer than the earlier coats.
Of course if anyone wants to do this, hey they're your figures, but I would rather this sculptor turn their skills and talents to a dedicated 30YWM/ECW range and turn out what I feel would be the definitive range in 1/72
