Andersonville Prison by Matt Clark. This is an outstanding piece, it only depicts a fraction of the compound but relates the entire story. |
Here’s an outstanding project from Daniel Peteuil. He depicted World War II’s famous Battle of the Bulge. He used Revell 1:72 figures along with 1:72 Scale Dragon Armor and other various model kits. He constructed the buildings from scratch and it is one awesome piece! |
Kenny Maynard did this dramatic depiction of the Battle of Saltsville, Virginia during the American civil War. His Great, Great Grandfather was at the engagement. Kenny used Imex figures and Woodland Scenics Plaster Cloth to construct the hills. |
This recycled-box castle comes from Trevor Green of Orillia, Ontario, Canada. |
The Ohio River in all its majesty comes from Mike Jones. |
