They DID have good cameras in 1565 then.... 
thanks Tas - the collection of an Ottoman army and a Hospitaller army are something I'd really like to do.
The left top pic of the siege set shows fort St. Elmo, quite nicely reproduced - this small star-shaped fort lasted almost a month before falling, probably a major contribution to the ultimate failure of the siege. The pic to the right should show one of the two cities, Birgu and L-Isla (probably the latter) under siege - far less acurately than the St. Elmo scene, though.

Good stuf indeed! I like to see good historical replicas.
The French Military Museum in Paris has a fantatsic collection of scaled models builts 200-300 years ago to plan seiges!

MINOTAUR
hi all,
here's a side of beef...... my old plastic Minotaur, with an added hammer, repainted for a possible path to glory campaign.

DARK ELDAR
I'd dropped the old pink scheme for this - quick and easy to paint!
He's from the Relieved-Not-To-Be-Pink Cabal

WESTERN OUTLAW
Hi all,
Chain-gang Charlie here is a 'tough' in my Outlaw band, and he's got a heavy pistol, loads of dust, and a bad temper.
He's very obviously a fugitive from Necromunda, but he's lost all his spikes, skulls, and punk hairstyle.

Thanks guys.
Tas, the base is very simple - the model is second hand, and was based with some fine sand glued to the base. I painted the lost black, drybrushed it, and added a few clumps and tufts of static grass with PVA glue. See, no cat litter this time round....
