Defining A Zinnfiguren Collection

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.

Developing two Renaissance sets

These two sets by Mauro Benni are being painted. I have to rely on the small colourful pictures that come with the sets as I can't find any larger pictorial references to them.
