Napoleonic Dragoon Mechanized Soldier under construction After getting inspired from watching Sleepy Hollow I wanted to make a robot from that era. My research brought me to all sorts of militia-including Dragoon soldiers and the such. Although I do have a robot head with a tri-corn hat that is waiting for a body......
