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.

Emperor QianLong Hunting Set
The pieces here are quite robust and cast thicker than the Mohr figures. Details are crisp.
I use several Qing era paintings as reference to arrive at suitable colours for this set.
