Janissaries-Siege of Malta 1565.
« on: October 29, 2011, 12:58:41 »
Hi all!
I've been reading about the great siege of Malta from 1565 a lot lately, and I'm planning to recreate a scene from it in Playmo, so I made some Ottoman Janissaries customs.
I hope you like them! :)

they look great, those hats are perfect for Janissaries.

Although I am not sure if they where allowed to have beards, I thought it was only mustaches and no beards allowed but that might vary in different periods, or maybe I am mistaking it with another millitairy order.

Those look great!  8-)

Personally I'd give them different neckcollars though; no shoulder-epaulettes yet in the 16th century...
