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.

Doodling on some zulus

I got some Zulus from Wilken and have started doodling on them. I noticed that some of the castings are based on two figures with multiple arms. These poses are ungainly and I will have to add putty to cover the blemishes.
