Zinnfiguren
Properly they are called zinnfiguren, which roughly translated means tin figure. Originally German they have found a growing popularity in the historical miniture fraternity. Commonly they are known as flats, a good place to see more would be www.hz-forum.de, though there are a lot of round historical figures on there as well. They are about 3mm thick with an engraved in low relief surface, back and front in most cases. Traditionally they are in 30mm and are used en masse to make dioramas of battles etc, I have seen some in Germany with 30,000 individual figures, pretty impressive. Anyway history lesson over they are great fun, well that\'s my opinion and I\'m sticking with it.

I\'m leaving tomorrow and won\'t be back for longer than about 10 hours on Sunday night (2 back-to-back school trips ) so I wont have an AMoTW until the next Saturday. The last few months of school get insanely busy, so I apologize once more.

The flat has not even been mounted, in fact none of the ones I submitted have, I\'d rather spend the time painting . It\'s just good that people can see them and enjoy them, although if I end up going to Euro I might frame her and enter the comps.
