Gettysburg Dioramas

[Dtd5424]

I've been an avid follower and reader of this forum for years and have learned so much from the discussion here! I know this is a little outside the typical posts but this forum and all of you have inspired me to learn more about the battle and I've recently created some dioramas of various actions and locations. Some obvious liberties taken with accuracies, proportions, etc. but sharing as I thought this community might enjoy a different viewpoint - in miniature. Thank you!

Palemetto Ranch Diorama Saved | Civil War Games & Miniatures

In 2019, I posted a thread on the Battle of Palemetto (sometimes Palmito) Ranch on the lower Rio Grande River. It was called the last battle of the Civil War. I had been to the Texas Civil War Museum in Fort Worth where they had a diorama of the battle on display. For the critical eye, the...

A Shiloh Diorama of the Sunken Road. I like it. | Shiloh / Pittsburg Landing

This one gets me going. Shows the Duncan Field fence and the Federal soldiers in combat. From my research, this looks like Stephan's attempt to cross over about 10:30 AM. They were met by the 2nd and 7th Iowa and supported by the 12th and 14th Iowa. From research the 14th Iowa had some of their...

Museum diorama getting too old? | Civil War Games & Miniatures

Working at the Museum waiting for students to arrive. The Museum staff does not overly like this diorama because it is a major draw for the students and keeps them from looking at other things. I guess this is true, but many student love the diorama. The staff keeps thinking of removing it. I...

Diorama - Save my old diorama or part it out? | Civil War Games & Miniatures

I needed a figure for another project and had figures I had no need for. One week some time ago I decided to see if I could use it to make a diorama. I an not sure it is worth saving. The figures and cannon are soft plastic so only paint up so well. I could try to rework it, but not sure it is...

Civil war dioramas. | Artwork

As the title says. I was just looking at the thread ‘Add your Burnside Bridge’ and there’s a fantastic museum diorama. I absolutely love that sort of thing and I was wondering if any of our members have either made a civil war diorama or have photos of dioramas that they have made, perhaps we...

Excellent work. I'm guessing 72nd scale ? and not too sure the make of the figures.

Thank you! Yes I believe the soldiers are 1:72 made by TSSD. I tried to make the buildings proportional to the soldier height.
