Gettysburg, Pennsylvania - April 02, 2016: Tiny clay cats man a diorama of The USS Housatonic, the first ship in the Civil War to be sunk by a submarine -- The CSS Hunley -- which the Brown Twins are planning to build.

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.
