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.

Custer etc (Part 2)
Further details were painted on all the figures. The reason why I adopted a loose painting style was to create the chaos that would be present at a last stand. The swirling colours are like an impressionistic vision of the scene. I have added very large pics to show you the simple highlights and shading to achieve this effect.
