The Distribution of The Eagles 2

I identified the key figures based on the David painting and re-arranged them on the cardboard display. More doodling was done on these figures.

I started to clean up the moulded edges on some of the figures.  I noticed that the Napoleon figure looked ungainly. The head and hands were cut off, shortened and reattached to the figure. The joints were strengthened with epoxy glue and a thin pin at the back.

The Distribution of the Eagles

Segom produced another set inspired by David's painting on the Distribution of the Eagles. I am just doodling on this set for now.




The Sacre finished

Here are the rest of the figures, all completed.

Tres Riches de Heures Duc de Berry

I have understood the problem of getting to my blogs as being that of using the wrong web browser.

I have just switched over to using Mozilla Firefox.

I am starting to get back into the zinfiguren.

I have finished painting this delightful set by W Hafer, due in no small part to encouragement from another enthusiast. I have generally lightened the tonality of the colours and added more light and shading to bring out the subtlety of the engraved details.

Problems updating on this blog

Hi all,

I am experiencing a problem of getting into my blogs to update with new postings. I think it is due to some technical issue which many other bloggers are also facing, perhaps due to specific web browsers? I normally use a standard laptop where most of my pics are and update on Googlechrome.

I am able to update briefly now because I am using an IPad and am on Safari browser.

In the event that I am unable to further update on this blog, I will just create a new blog with a similar sounding name 'Defining A Zinnfiguren Collection  The Next Chapter'.

So see you all soon.
