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.

Macau Museum Dioramas 3
These were the rest of the dioramas.
This piece was are probably the best of the dioramas with great looking buildings,backgrounds and ships. The figures were also better modelled and the scene was well-composed.A port scene with simple perspectives.
A close up.
Another close-up.
Another close-up.
Another table-top display, with background painting on two sides. Great paintng but marred by the obvious vertical edge.

Final diorama showing wedding scene. A wedding scene seems to be "de-rigeur" for any Chinese display on culture or costumes.

I hope you enjoyed these pictures. I posted them here as they were dioramas and fitted in with my thematic goal of dioramic pursuits.
