D'oh!  I missed those Gatlings, thanks man   ;D

That Calvary is ridiculous.  Looks like PE frames with white glue added for volume.  Top-notch scratch building skills  :thumbsup:

Actually when you see the actual diorama (which is quite small) in real life, rather than photos on the web, the teeny-tiny cavalry look quite convincing.
