Hi all! Now this is actually a "proper" conversion, in that the finished model was not intended to be created from the parts used(unlike my Swordsmen and Halberdier conversion thread!)!
I began with teh following bits:
* 1 x Medieval horse(the unarmoured Empire/Brettonian warhorses)
* 1 x mounted body legs(Empire command frame)
* 1 x pistol(Milita boxed set)
* 1 x head w' feathered hat(Empire command frame)
* 1 x musician drum (Empire command frame)
* 1 x musician drumstick arm(Empire command frame)
* 2 x additional armour plates(the extra plates from the 6 Ed. soldiers boxed set)
* 1 x milita body(Milita boxed set)
* 1 x cavalry base
I gathered all the bits in a pile in front of me and began work.
(1) I assembled the horse and drilled a hole in his back for a pin(I pin all my cavalry instead of gluing them - makes for easier packing/transport)
(2) I then left the horse to dry and stuck the Milita body to the command frame legs
(3) Meanwhile, I took the arms and attached 1 of the armour plates to each one
(4) I stuck the head to the Milita body
(5) After approx. 30 mins drying, I glued the body and legs together
(6) I then attached the drumstick arm arm and glued the drumstick to the legs on the same side of the body
(7) I attached the pistol arm
(8) After approx. 60 mins drying time, I drilled a hole in the underside of the legs for pinning the rider during games
(9) Finally, I cut the pin to length and superglued it in place
VOILA!! One converted Pistolier musician!!

Re: A Pistolier Musician conversion(now with pics!!)
the drum is abit on the behind side... It would be hard for him to actually beat it!
Other than that, it seems nice enough

Drums on cavalry is a bit like skellies with horns - though the conversion is nicely done
