Aaaaarrrrggghh.....My Cuirassier has no bleeping arms! 
Has anyone by any miraculous possibility got a spare left arm? 
I've got one of the right arms (part 23) but parts 22 & 24 are missing.....I should probably have noticed the word 'Robbed' written on the front of the box before I left the blighter that sold it to me positive feedback! 
TIA & All the best

You should have stuck with your Uncle Beaufighter, sarge!!
I haven't got a spare cuirassier left arm but I have got spares from the other mounted figures. As these are mostly interchangeable - cuffed-glove hand holding the reins - I can test-fit a couple on one of my cuirassiers and send you whichever fits the pose best?
I'm thinking either the Life Guard or the Lancer.
Of the right arms, have you got the right right arm? IIRC there's one holding a pistol and one holding a sword.

I know, I know!
I have part 23....The Sword wielding right arm (I think). 
I'd be up for another Cuirassier and a left arm if you can spare them! Please send me a PM if you are still interested in a sale (or a trade of some sort). 
I knew I shouldn't have clicked.....Said so at the time too! 
Grumble! 
Mutter! 
All the best

He also had another Cuirassier up for sale.....I grabbed this one because of the foot figure included (no instructions or painting guide for him either). 
Hopefully the parts should arrive in a couple of days and I can do my 'contemplating' before the GB begins!
All the best

Cool. Let me know if you need another cuirassier. I need two of my three and must have acquired the third in a moment of absent-mindedness.
One can swap the cuirassier's helmet for the Scots Grey's bearskin to make an Inniskilling Dragoon.
One replaces the cuirassier's missing hat with a Life Guard's, thereby making a French carabinier.
Finally one puts the spare Scots Grey's bearskin on the Life Guard, ending up with a Scots Grey at rest. Or, with a bit of sanding, with a trooper of a French dragoon regiment's elite squadron.
Three kits, seven possibilities, and that's just by swapping headgear.
Simples...
