I believe that this might be the front gate because it is on the side next to the church steeple, which is usually the front of the church. The more ornate back gate lead to the rear of the church.
Champsandbums is currently listing a large quantity of Trophy sets on eBay right now, so it seems obvious that he acquired someone's collection. He tends to overprice equipment sets, but the infantry seems to be "at market".
One could commission Herb Gundt to make a similar boat for...
The CSA Leopard is for sale on eBay for a cool $5,000. She is a mighty fine vessel but way too pricey for my taste. Copy and paste the link below and have a look.
