jp wargaming place

This a wargaming place were you can see a growing collection of miniatures and terrain of many historical periods in 20mm (but also a few 10mm,15mm and 28mm) started when I was 10 yo. At the moment it has several tens of thousands of miniatures from foot figures to Destroyers. Occasionally there are some war movie critics and some travel to military sites. My family considers it the best wargaming site in the World even if it is the only one they know. More on @joaopeixoto5249 YouTube Channel.

Rapid Fire! 20mm, 8th Army additions

A few more bits and pieces for the British in the desert.

Everything is old plastic kits with a more recent Armorfast Sherman.

The Airfix 5,5 inch gun with towing Matador vehicle. The 5,5 inch received some new parts in Greenstuff as well as the Matador saw its canvas cover taken out and replaced by Evergreen rod.

The figures are Chinese copies of british desert infantry with a lot of cutting and glueing.

The OP group is Valiant.

Esci 25 pdr battery with Matchbox Daimler.

Matchbox Monty's caravan with a soft plastic officer giving harsh advice to an hard plastic Monty of the same brand. I think he will regret it...

Straight-out-of-the box Monty's caravan.

An Esci Matilda and an Armorfast Sherman III. The sherman was heavily transformed and it comes from the M-4 Sherman of Armorfast.

As I did with the cast hulls of PSC the bogies were transformed to look like the initial version, the mantlet had its 'ears' cut to look like the M-34 mantlet, the rear had an extra piece of plate (plastic from Evergreen really) and many small bits were placed like an MG, bags, boxes, new transmission and antennae.
