Knights of Malta

Knights of Malta

 When we returned to Sydney this April I finally managed to catch up with an old friend John Aqulina who asked me to paint some large scale miniatures for his collection two years ago when they last visited us in France just before Covid. Of course I sat on the project until the last week of March before we departed and completed them this week before handing them over. The peacock feathers were interesting and I would like to try another set as I think I could improve on my technique. 

 I am really happy with the results on the large scale resin minatures and they were a nice change from 28mm work and were very crisp sculpts, both miniatures are still available here.


Knight of Rhodes, United Empire Miniatures bust


 The first bust is the Teutonic Grand Master, Konrad von Lichtenstein 1410, repainted as a Knight of Rhodes, (hospitaller)  the bust was from Under Empire Miniatures.

The second bust is a 1/9th scale Teutonic Knight also from Under Empire Miniatures, also painted as a knight of Rhodes.


A fellow Knight of Malta, proudly holding his gifts! 

I do hope they travel well back to Chile to sit in John’s display cabinet. The only annoying thing is I failed to take nice photos of them until I handed them over at the lunch catch up! 

Cheers

Heavy Metal WOTR Knights

Off the bench something I have been meaning to do for some time my heavy WOTR knights, I was spurred on to finish these lads when the “Guild Wargamers” had a heavy metal competition.

These fine figures are from the Front Rank Range, and have been sitting around for probably 5 years some party painted (the metal work at least), I got them out on the weekend, after making a decision at Cancon to re-base my WOTR army to impetus. I finished the standard bearer and standard off this afternoon as I am away on business for the rest of the week. The standard belongs to Willam FitzAlan the 16th Earl of Arundel.

Two more Knight units to come, one is on the table at the moment and may get done by the weekend, but they are slotted behind some other medieval figs for my Feudal army. So in the coming months expect a deluge of archers and bills as I re-base each unit. My liveried foot knights and standards especially need some work to be completed. I may even need to buy and paint some more figs to increase my army to 300-350 points at least!
