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.

Updating the Palm Sunday set
Although I am not enamoured of the sculpting on this set, the painting can bring the figures to life. I have a scene planned and these figures will fit into that nicely.
Large set, featuring Jesus on the donkey.
This last pic shows the completed figures, including the Romans, Metal on helmets, chainmail, pilum was simulated with paint, not metallics. Still a long way to go.
