I decided that from now on I will be not posting Infantry regiments, because their models are not that much attractive.

Models look fine, textures  :-X

Whats bad on textures?  :-[

Lookin' good man! Keep up the good work!
Thx.

Can you show me in high as I don't think they have normal maps from your pics

One regiment I'd love to see you show is the Marquis of Newcastle's Regiment of Foote nick named "The Lambs"due to their white uniforms. Nobody can question that their stand at Marston Moor is one of the most historic and heroic stands in English history.

Newcastle was a nuisance when I was recently writing an essay on the Royalists in the Civil War. In one source I used, (a letter Charles wrote to him at the start of the war) he was an Earl, the next source was after 1643 when he made a Marquess and the last source was one after the restoration when he was a Duke, so I was having to alternate between his various titles! 
EDIT: It is interesting as well that many of Newcastle's lambs (the nickname was due to their white coats) also wore blue bonnets, although how quickly those wore out I do not know.

I think they were quickly dropped after the Scots joined the war to stop any confusion.

I was wandering how many Ensigne (Proper Olde English spelling) will we see? Will we see the full host from the Colonel's right the way to the 3-4 or even 5th Captain's or will there be just the 1 per Regiment of Foote?

To my knowledge the maximum number of colours we can have in a regiment is two. Even if we did have ten or so it wouldn't necessarily be accurate, many regiments stopped carrying all of their colours as the number of men in the regiment dropped or they were lost to the enemy so they probably only took two or three colours into battle (although the King's Lifeguard is an exception as they apparently still had all of theirs at Naseby).

Even it may not be historicaly correct, I will try to include all of them.  It all depends on Black Watch 1745 if he will send me how they looked

And I just found your old thread about Prince Rupert's foote  ::)

  Here are some images from the re-enactment group for Newcastle's Regiment (I don't know whether they should be referred to as the Earl of Newcastle's Regiment of Foote or the Marquess/Marquis of Newcastle's Regiment as he was elevated from an Earl to a Marquess in 1643, the latter is their name at Marston Moor so I would go with that):


  Then there is this: http://wiki.bcw-project.org/royalist/foot-regiments/marquis-of-newcastle
'According to the Northumberland and Durham Composition papers, in 1642 Newcastle had bought 3000 Scots blew bonnets to equip his infantry regiments, though how long these survived is unknown.'
  Interestingly as well:
'Royalist prisoners taken at York were said to have white coats with red and blue silk crosses on their sleeves by a Parliamentarian'

He he he for the Deluge yeah :P was a good little regiment. Pity I got forced to form it when I couldn't be there to command so it died off.

Those red and blue crosses were crosses of gallantry awarded to men of the regiment by the Marquess himself.
