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.

Daimyo set of Rules in 20mm - Japan's Sengoku period/Sekigahara 1600: Ii Naomasa clan
Ii Naomasa was one of the best generals of its time, so brave that he died from the gun shot wounds taken at Sekigahara fighting for Tokugawa Ieyasu while leading his division from the front.
His men were all clad in red armour and with red flags making them easily recognisable in any battlefield of the Sengoku period.
Once again I advise you to see and read the excellent Samurai Archives and their Samurai Heraldry Gallery easily available in the web.
Ii Naomasa model has a transformed head with an incision in the helmet to carry a big U shaped Evergreen horns. The Horo of the Messenger is painted blue something I would never know if it was not for Samurai Archives.
Ashigaru become very smart in their red outfit.
The Teppo Taisho (commander of arquebuses) is a Zvezda Samurai with the sword turned into a fan.
All individual Sashimono carried by Samurai of Ii clan had their own named written on it. So no two were alike.

Ao meu pai.
Valdemar Peixoto, 1934-2015.
Com ele aprendi, entre muitas outras coisas, a levar com seriedade a brincadeira das miniaturas.
