[E:TW]Accurate Uniforms Mod - Need help!

Ok, so you saw my Prussian grenadier skin. Well, I cant use it because of the stupid way the glossmap is shared with every nation's grenadiers. What the glossmap does, is that it tells the game which part of the uniform it automatically applies the nations color (red for brits, blue for Prussia etc. etc.). To completely re-color/re-texture an uniform, the glossmap needs to be made useless i.e. get rid of it's alpha channel. Now, this naturally means that if you want to re-texture one nation's grenadiers, the rest of the grenadiers will have completely white uniforms. Solution? At this time, only to re-texture all those different grenadiers. And that's what I want to do, not just the grenadiers, but line infantry, light infantry, cavalry etc. etc.

I know, a darn huge job. BUT, the re-texturing part is pretty fast, the more time consuming part is the research and finding reference to work with. And that's where I need YOUR help.

Here is the list of what I need at this point:

COLORED drawings of:

Austrian Grenadiers- DoneBritish Grenadiers - DoneDanish Grenadiers- DoneDutch Grenadiers - Done
Polish Grenadiers
Russian Grenadiers- Done
Spanish Grenadiers
Swedish Grenadiers- Done
US Grenadiers

Post your finds on this thread and thanks in advance.
