Gettysburg, Pennsylvania - April 02, 2016: Tiny clay cats depicting Confederate soldiers work inside a model of the CSS Virginia which is part of the "Horrid Creation of Nightmare vs. the Little Pygmy" diorama at The Civil War Tails at the Homestead Diorama Museum in Gettysburg.

The diorama depicts a naval battle between ironclad warships the CSS Virginia and the USS Monitor at Hampton Roads, Sunday March 9th 1862 ...but with tiny clay cats.

Twins Rebecca and Ruth Brown opened Civil War Tails in Gettysburg, a collection of hand-made battle dioramas as depicted by small clay cats.

The country has between 28,000 and 35,000, many of them small and labors of love.
