This is a gift from my friend Mário Laranja and represents Carentan, the famous battle place between the German 6. FJ Reg. and the 101st US Airborne. All buildings are made in card and then were 'washed' with super glue making them very tough models. My only work was painting as they arrived black primed, a small participation of 3 or 4 days in a project that took months for Mário Laranja to finish. Fortunately, Mário became a 28mm modeller and wargamer (he has several of these houses in his colection in this bigger scale) and so this wonderful models ended up to my surprise in my collection.
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.
Wow, what a gift! That is a very impressive scratch built layout and I'm sure you will have many, many fun games playing on and in it:)
