The contents of this website represent a life's work. My father Bernard Baker has collected, created and painted over 2000 unique American Civil War model soldiers, which accurately show the uniforms of over 96 individual regiments both Union and Confederate, that took part in the conflict between 1861-1865.

My father was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2009 and it is his fervent wish that this unique collection be on public display. To that end I have been working with him to catalogue and photograph the collection for this website as a precursor to finding a new permanent home for the physical collection.

If you have an interest in this period of American history I hope that you will find these images stimulating, if you think that you may be able to find a home for the physical collection please do not hesitate to make contact. Alan Baker.
