As part of my continuing reorganising project for my 28mm ECW collection I decided to add some more personalities and this was one of them. Originally I painted this figure as King Charles I and probably the model itself was supposed to be him, but as I already had a couple of version of Charles I decided to repainted the hair & beard a brownish blonde as appropriate for the Marquis of Newcastle. The overly luxurious clothing was befitting the wealthiest man in the kingdom and all I needed was a fitting standard bearer and personal standard. The standard itself I based around the coat of arms of The Marquis and kept with the black & white effect for the tails and border once happy with the design I committed to printing it and adding it to the flagpole and model. The Marquis of Newcastle figure & horse are from Essex Miniatures and the standard bearer is a from Wargames Foundry. More photo's on my blog: link link link link link |

Very nice! I've got one of these figs and it would be a fitting use for it! I've done Marston Moor several times and actually visited the battlefield on a late summer afternoon. Very atmospheric. |

"…kept with the black and white…" The colours of Newcastle United. Another lost cause. |

Thanks for the feedback guys, it's much appreciated. Tristram, I can't really comment on Newcastle United being a lost cause as I don't follow them as I am a Wolves fan. |
