20mm 1812 Russians

Still working through the sorting of 20mm (Napoleonic) masters and such and upon sorting the Russians I remembered that the figures are designed as 1812 Russians and that infantry were sculpted with the large plumes (as for Grenadiers).

Hmm, what to do? Should I just leave as is – meaning  that you will need to snip off the plumes to use figures as Musketeers, Jagers or Marines? OR should I go ahead and make more proper Musketeer models? In the later case I would start with the existing figures and make my modifications to those . The result being separate castings for Grenadiers and Musketeers.

If you have thoughts or preferences, please let me know.

More about the 20mm Napoleonic project in a bit.
