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.

Napoleon in Egypt - Mohr
This very nice Mohr set is a classic.
When Napoleon invaded Egypt, he brought along with him a team of scientists to explore the archaeological sites. There are several anecdotal scenes which could be done in a dioramic setting against pyramids.
