WIP Figure Availability FPW

[gentleman in khaki]

Good Morning everybody, Can you please help me? I am about to plan a diorama of the Franco Prussian War involving the excellent Beneito vignette of three French line infantry at a water pump. The scale is 54mm. I know that Historex manufacture a Guard Guide mounted figure but what I would really like is a mounted Cuirassier figure. Does anybody make one? any information would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time.
Kind regards,
Paul

Dear Richie,
thank you for taking the time to look around for me, it's much appreciated. Thank you for the links to the other figures as well. I will have a look shortly.
In the meantime I have actually found a 54mm FPW French cuirassier model. It is digitally printed and is made by the firm of Digital Sculpt based in Sweden. They also make a French lancer, Garde Mobile infantryman and a Prussian infantryman. They are not cheap and the postage is also large but then again it is Sweden and having had a holiday there everything is expensive ( £8 per pint of lager and this was in 1998!) Here is the link to their website digitalsculpt.se They look good on the website and I have ordered the Cuirassier figure but he has not arrived yet so I cannot comment as to the quality.
Cheers,
Paul
