Nicely detailed pieces! Each one is individually made, like those terra cotta figures in china! Now i am intetested in RF Tabletop gaming! Great video, good job!
I enjoy seeing what the high quality you are able to accomplish using old Atlantic figures. All of your scratch building efforts are superb. I especially like your conversion of the AAA Lewis Gun figures.
Thanks. I made a mistske while identifying the Lewis MGs as Vickers, besides they became a bit too big. I think ill cut them a bit. Atlantic is nice for these early British.
The first 25 seconds are the most important! Another great early war division. Early war miniatures do a great twin lewis on an AA mount. The Austin 7's were made a couple of miles from me, at the notorious longbridge motor plant! There is however one very serious item missing, NOBODY is drinking tea!.
Yes. But the pz1 and 2 that equipped the Germans was no better and Pz3 and 4 were not that many. The big difference was in the way the Germans coordinated their armour, infantry and artillery in the AT role.
@@joaopeixoto5249 indeed. The British liked their mechanised infantry units, while the Germans like the physical tank pressence. The PNZR 2/3 were still better tanks than the British tanks at the start. Also the Halftrack units 250/51 were better troop carriers than the bren carrier in actual conflict.
@@Athgul007 - The Germans were still very short of the SdKfz 251 in France: only a few companies had them (the smaller 250 came later). The ‘Bren Carrier’ on the other hand was quite plentiful.
Just beautiful! Can you list all of the model companies that you used besides Plastic Soldier Company? You mentioned some others but I didn't catch their names. Also, how did you paint them--did you paint them with an airbrush first?
Thanks. The A13 mk1 are S-models, the A13 mk2 are Minigeneral 3d prints, the vickers light tanks are Airfix, Minigeneral, S-models and Lancer, the soft skins and carriers are Minigeneral and Any Scale Models. The figures are converted Esci, Hat, PSC, Atlantic, Zvezda and Revell. Only the grey primer was airbrushed, all the rest is a brush paint job.
@@joaopeixoto5249 Thank you! I am a WWII armor model builder in 1/35 and 1/72. Recently I am thinking about miniature wargaming, like what you do. I have been collecting and building armor models since the 70's. At first I could not decide whether to build 1/76 or 1/72, but the 1/76 Airfix, Fujimi and Matchbox were too tiny. My first love is 1/72 because they were cheap (compared to 1/35th scale), good detail compared to 1/76, and easy to carry (I moved a lot--I served 26 years total in the US military). Esci was the first that I started building (OK detail but overscaled). My collection includes: Hasagawa (overscale), lots of Plastic Soldier Company tanks, halftracks and softskins (PSC is really fantastic--their level of detal is OK but they have a tremendous variety), Zveda (outstandingin detail and variety!), a few Hat and Armourfast (poor kits but can kit-bash them to make versions I don't have), some ACE (bad but they make some obscure subjects), a few S-Models (beautiful but a little underscale), Dragon, IBG, Hobby Boss, and Revell-Germany (fabulous!), Pegasus, Trumpeter, Easy Models, ICM, and Italeri (just OK--good for kit-bashing), First To Fight and Uni-Models (UM) are great because they make versions no one else makes. I haven't heard of some of your model companies like Minigeneral and Any Scale Models--thank you for that information!!!!!
@@400heavy Im glad you are thinking about wargaming. Its a lovely way to enjoy and read about history. I really mix 1/76 and 1/72 models on my collections but always on different units ( for instance I have six 1944/45 Sherman Battalions, some in one of the scales and others in other scale). I really cant be too picky about that as here in Portugal we dont have many hobby shops and very few brands of our own. Besides while wargaming you have the models mostly separated and any minimal size differences is not an issue. Minigeneral by Sirocco, is a 3d print small enterprise I found by accident in the net a few years ago and that helped me build cheap large units while not waiting for months for things to come from England as it nowadays happen due to Brexit and the changes in EU postal rules. Enjoy your hobby, cheers.
@@400heavy - Minigeneral do 3-D prints in PLA (a sort of nylon-plastic). You can buy them on ebay or Etsy and they’re reasonably good value. The downsides are pretty major, however, in that they’re quite laborious to clean up prior to painting and tend to have horrible ‘layer lines’ on most flat surfaces, which are hard to remove or mask. Some of the models are rather impressionistic when it comes to detail and often slightly off-scale, but if you’re not too pernickety they’re a great way to obtain those rarer vehicles that are out of production or were simply never made by the major model firms.

This is Another Outstanding early war Army! Thank you for showing this Britsh 1st Armor. Beautiful best set I have Seen on TH-cam!
Great looking army. Well done.
Nicely detailed pieces! Each one is individually made, like those terra cotta figures in china! Now i am intetested in RF Tabletop gaming! Great video, good job!
Glad it sparked the RF bug. Go to their site. There is plenty of inspiration there. www.rapid-fire-uk.com/
Looking great..

What a beautiful collection. Love the early British armour, looks so cute!
Thanks Nick. Early war gives the most interesting armour of WW2 speciallly after buliding - and getting tired of - many Panthers, Shermans and JS .
Nice review mate, I enjoyed watching this,keep it up
The first 25 seconds are the most important!
Another great early war division. Early war miniatures do a great twin lewis on an AA mount. The Austin 7's were made a couple of miles from me, at the notorious longbridge motor plant!
There is however one very serious item missing, NOBODY is drinking tea!.
Glad I sparked some of yours nice memories. Regarding tea only the author drinks it, generally while painting and modelling all this stuff.
very inspiring
Thanks for sharing João, entertaing and some really nice (as always) conversions 👍👍
Thanks mate. Conversions makes the hobby fun and much cheaper.
The staggering difference in lack good armour to the early Axis forces is telling.
Yes. But the pz1 and 2 that equipped the Germans was no better and Pz3 and 4 were not that many. The big difference was in the way the Germans coordinated their armour, infantry and artillery in the AT role.
