New this week, a pair of models for Gettysburg in 1:1000th scale. A pair? we hear you say, there's only one in the photos! But this set does consist of two models – first, the Lutheran Seminary building, employed by both sides as a lookout post. It was initially held by the Union for the first day, then for the rest of the battle by the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia. It was used a field hospital, treating casualties of both sides.
This is where it gets slightly embarrassing for us. The second part of the set is the Evergreen Cemetery Gatehouse, located on Cemetery Hill where much of the Union artillery was placed. The building served as General Howard's HQ for the battle. We had a painted model of this and, er, it's been misplaced before being photographed. So you'll have to make do with this CGI capture until we can get a replacement one done!
