4th Miss Cav Posted April 24, 2015 Share #1 Posted April 24, 2015 A diorama I put together a few years back for a local model show. It is of the second day of Gettysburg during the assault by the 13th,17th,18th and 21st Miss Inf. through the Peach Orchard near the Sherfy Farm against the 57th, 68th, 105th and 114th Pennsylvania Inf. The figures are all pewter 25 mm Dixon. The barn I scratch built out of balsa wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custermen Posted June 12, 2015 Share #12 Posted June 12, 2015 My great-great grandfather was in Company H, 17 Mississipppi Regiment. He must have been in this charge as he was not dropped from the roll until he was wounded at Chickamauga in September. Across the field, I had another Gr-Gr-Uncle in the 3rd Arkansas Regiment, Hood's "Texas" Brigade, that charged Devil's Den. He wasn't so lucky.

4th Miss Cav Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share #14 Posted June 13, 2015 From Gettysburg to Chickamauga, I would say that was a tough 3 months of fighting for any man. Must have come South with General Longstreet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtyScout Posted June 13, 2015 Share #15 Posted June 13, 2015 Very nice dio. I guess 25mm is smaller than 54mm. The painting of the figures and the action portrayed is great. Semper Fi. Manny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
