NOW: Brookfield man’s basement turns into a history lesson with a giant Civil War diorama

BROOKFIELD, Wis. (CBS 58) -- Mark Beyer has captured the Battle of Gettysburg from 1863 perfectly with 800 toy soldiers, 85 horses, 31 cannons, 10 tents, 24 flags, and of course generals and regiments from both the North and South. There's more, a lot more. This diorama has been a project ten years in the making, and he says he's not done yet.

Michael Schlesinger visited Beyer on CBS 58 Sunday Morning.
