Starting to work more on this piece. Glorious Empires have a painted example on their website which clarifies some details on this piece.
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.

Getting back into the zinn of things 2
I started to doodle on some of the figures, just to get back into the swing of painting these zinnfiguren.
Mostly dark browns and washes added.
I added some shadows and highlights to the two zulus on the left.

Its been a while since I was active on this blog, spending most of the time and effort on ronde-bosse figures.
I took out a box marked miscellaneous and came across these three items.
