Nice work there George, I like the Armistead figure did you convert him? or stock pose.

I was kinda expecting you might have done a Waterloo dio this past June 18th....but Gettysburg still very good!:salute::

Thanks for the comments, the figure is a stock figure from Musket Miniatures, it actually was used in a movie called Gettysburg in Miniature, it was produced by the late Jeff Leighton, the movie tells the story of the battle using thousands of 15mm, 20mm and 25mm figures, I was fortunate to come into about 1,000 20mm figures from that movie, this being one of them...............and yes, I dropped the ball on Waterloo, but there still is the 200th anniversary looming..........

Once again very nicely done George you've become a master at it. By the way our Richard Walker took part in Pickett's Charge while at Gettysburg yesterday. Have a safe trip if you've decide to head off to Gettysburg......Joe:salute:::salute:::salute::

I can think of no better way to honor the memory of those men (on both sides) who fought one of the most pivotal battles in American History. The amount of time that you must have put into this display, the craftsmanship, the story and the photos due justice to the armies who fought at Gettysburg for three long days 150 years ago!

Congrats on a super fantastic "work of respect"!

As someone said, "This deserves to be in the museum at Gettysburg" ... for the world to see .... !

Thanks for the feedback Sammy, but glad you can appreciate this one even if it is in 20mm, I'd need an airplane hangar to do this one in 54mm........:wink2:

Once again George, you have provided for our viewing pleasure a wonderful diorama in minature. Truly a very timely tribute to the 150th Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. I was a Confederate re-enactor at the 135th anniversary of the battle and still remember the "rush" of adrenaline as we took those first steps towards the Union lines in our attempt to recreate Pickett's Charge (over 5,000 Confederate re-enactors participated in that charge) . . . . . I wish I could be there this week, I am sure it will be most excellent.

Thanks Mike, that must have been a rush for you for sure, I appreciate your feedback, this one has been in the works for a long time, just had to build up the troops for it.

Thanks Carlos and thanks again for starting the diorama thread several years ago, all of this started with that, so thanks again...........

This is an amazing effort.

Absolutely stunning.

Are these figures based for a particular set of gaming rules?

 

[Panzer]

Wow! That is some set-up! Makes me want to watch Gettysburg again!

Thanks for the feedback; when I got back into the hobby in the early 1990's, I thought about doing some ACW gaming in 20mm based on the popular Fire and Fury rules that were out at the time, but that idea quickly faded as most of the wargamers in the area did ACW in 15mm.

It became a project of mine to base my figures either 4 or 6 to a base as I got more into setting up displays and dioramas for ease of set up and breakdown..............
