Health delays. Resumed work on the King's Foote. And cleaned and primed Prince Rupert's regiment. Want to get at least both units done to face off against the Roundheads for a quick refresher game.
King's Lifeguards are basecoated. Using crimson which is sort of a madder red as described by one uniform source.
Managed to clean and prime Rupert's Blews in the same session. Amazing!
Flags of the Oxford units. Going for colour as much as variety. The contrasting coat colours should enhance the visual spectacle planned. Cheers.

Some spare time today so continued with the Oxford foot.
King's Foot nearly done...I am liking my effort thus far. The madder red of the uniform is accentuated as I've gone for a bright red hose for the majority of the foot. Going with tall standard staffs because of the size of my flags - 35mm square. Large enough to clearly show who they are without overwhelming the overall look of the unit.
Basecoated the Blew regiment and added the flags. Fine detailing to follow. These chaps are wearing the montero caps which I've since learned were as common as the helmets and hats. Cheers.
