As usual, I spray with white undercoat and underlay with thin washes of acrylics and enamels to test the colour harmonisation.
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.

Painting some Mohr sets
The Gypsy and Harem sets are just great to look at. However, note that the metal used is a little soft and the figures are cast quite thin. As these are presumably made from quite well-worn moulds, many of the pieces required considerable cleaning up of the flash metal.
