Stephen Huckaby of ACWGamer.com sent me the following today –

ACW Gamer subscriber, Roger Mark, has created a diorama to auction on Ebay. The majority of the auction proceeds (minus shipping and materials costs only) will be donated to the Civil War Trust’s campaign to purchase the actual building property.

Time frame that this scene might have taken place, would be approx. early morning July 2nd, 1863 and focuses on a conjectured meeting of Lee and some of his key generals to plan the attack on that day.

The miniatures are Perry Brothers 28mm and they represent Generals Longstreet, Lee and Hood. Ironically the General Lee figure was originally supposed to represent General Meade, but a little file and putty work fixed him up. Paints used were mostly Vallejo and Tamiya.

The building is pretty much scratch built out of balsa wood, plastic, putty along with the roof and stone facade being model railroad sheets. The trees and bushes are various Woodland Scenics products with a lot of scratch building. The fences are handmade out of balsa and basswood. Lee’s HQ flag and pole was scratchbuilt, with the flag having been drawn up and printed via MS Paint.

Consider helping save the actual property and possibly winning a great diorama for your den!
