The dioramas are all made with a one-to-one ratio. This means that each model cat soldier represents one soldier during the real battle, not 10 or 50. All of the dioramas are also all made to scale. If a hill looks like it would have been a monster to climb while dodging cannon fire and bullets, it was.

Caption: "The Battle of Gettysburg, as depicted by clay cats. The 140th New York (right) arrives and the 20th Maine (left) charges, pushing the Confederates back. The fight eventually ends on Little Round Top." Rows upon rows of anthropomorphic cats dressed in blue uniforms and cats in gray uniforms fire at each other. Some cats are bleeding or lay dying. A tattered Union flag is held aloft by one cat soldier.
