As part of my Austrian Army of 1792-8, I converted some artillerymen by scratch building Corsehats for them, worn with the upturned brim to the rear.
This is what they look like, now they have been varnished, based & flocked. Note that most Austrian gunners were rated as NCOs, so got attractive yellow hat lace. Also note that for this period extra labour was drafted in from whatever infantry units were nearby, hence various white coated figures dotted about.
As the artillery starts the period with gunners in tricornes, so some of my guns will have gunners in tricornes as well.
Enjoy!
As usual, I hope that this encourages you to have a go!
