The cro-magnons and their meal.
On my computer, this looked upright...
When completed, this should make a great scene/
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.

Happy Easter
And what better way to celebrate the day then with some easterners...
I started on Segom's Assurbanipal Assyrian Lion Hunt. These figures are chunky and the castings are thicker than most other flats. The details are rough but I think that careful painting will make this set.
I also went to town on the Ochel Assyrians.
Slave market
Hebrews paying tribute
Close up detail of the Patriach riding mules
The famous Sardanaplus bed orgy scene
The King and his Queen
Other revellers. These Aryans knew how to have a good time.
One tipsy reveller staggering to his couch.
