I love the last one that could be Saint Elmo or Birgu at the Great Siege of Malta.

Anyone have comparison shots yet with the FL Winged Hussars? I would love to mix some of them together.

My initial thought was Schleich. Is it metal or plastic?

I love the way the Star Wars universe has been expanded using animation, so I think this is a cool idea. I am excited.

Got mine and they are great. I skipped red just to differentiate from the Knights.

Holy crap, that looks real.

Anyone playing either Enlisted or Hell Let Loose? I have been into the Enlisted big-time since my toy soldier budget and free time for dioramas was taken up by kids.

Duke! What a great shot and scene! One of my favorites of yours, and that is saying a lot!

Yeah, I thought you meant the other way around. I think the figures are too big. Almost every description of the Panther is "huge." In many dimensions it was the "biggest" tank of WW2: https://panzerworld.com/vehicle-size-comparison

Excellent point. Rubble and dirt would probably be the best option.

Love it! So glad we finally have a perfect Operation Barbarossa panzer! Love the BT-7 but needs some cotton for a smoke plume! Looks more natural in real life: Also, that is more synthetic than real cotton. It looks fine to the eye but with the camera you see the glint that is not...

So, I think I just saw the inspiration for this armor when I was looking to see if the other two knights' armor worked for Malta as well as Rhodes (which it did.) This is definitely right for Malta. Might be modern for Rhodes but I would need to look that up. John is crushing it on this line!

Is this Ernle's translation? The Siege of Malta 1565 - Francisco Balbi Di Correggio (A 1st hand account of the Siege) I also have a copy of HJA Sire's The Knights of Malta. It has some great sections on fortress and the Hospitaller's navy.

In my updated collection I have them fighting over the Landsknecht cannon. I did find a couple of pictures after adding the cannon: ​

Yes, crossbows were still in use. There are multiple examples of 16th century crossbows in the Heritage Malta Museum. I cannot remember if they are replicas, representative, or actually from the Siege. But they are there. I have several of JJDs and FL crossbowmen in my little collection. You...

Yeah, I had the ambition to create some of the Fort St Elmo, but with young kids just cannot find the time. The other "problem" is Valette wasn't in Elmo. Though, you could a shot of him witnessing the fight there and saying, "“What could be more fitting for a member of the Order of Saint John...

Here is my escadron of the Order: Valette himself:

There was a question about whether knightly (or knight in shining armor) like this would have been present at the Great Siege of Malta. In this paper...
