My aim in setting up this blog is in exploring flats (zinnfiguren) as an art form. Once thought of as playthings, flats have evolved into very artistic pieces, created for and treasured by collectors. I prefer to explore flats in a contextual setting by putting them into shadow-box dioramas of artistic merit which can be reasonably contained within a manageable space. The chronology of this web blog will hopefully blaze a definite trail in this direction.

MauroBenni Sets
MB Zinnfiguren is so far, the only Italian editor that I know of. These delightful small sets are based on Renaissance paintings. Here are a few of them being prepped with undercoat. I always paint in oils over enamels or arcylics.
