Title: Dixon ACW Artillery
Post by: kingsmt on 12 October 2015, 07:06:33 AM

On a hot, July day in Pennsylvania, the Confederate artillery opens up on the Union lines as Picket's division prepares to step off into history.
Dixon figures painted by John Bryant
I painted the guns so long ago, I have no idea who made them.
Base, trees and terrain by my own personal self.

Do you use this in game, or is it purely a display stand?

Great battery terrain piece. I'm curious as to whether it's used in games too, it looks too good not to.

I am not a war gamer. I just enjoy setting up battle scenes and I would use this piece in my Gettysburg scene.

Very nice looking diorama! Do you make your own trees or do you use some ready made ones?

I make my own trees using Scenic Express "SuperTrees."

Every thing you see, except the figures and cannons, is scratchbuilt.
