Hi, dear friends! I warmly thank to Joe for opening this new space of brush play, this time a little more unusual. Flat figurines have a long history behind them and very well organized professional associations like International Flat Figure Society = British Flat Figure Society. At first impression, they seem less attractive than what we usually do, what to do with the 2D vs. 3D aspect, but I assure you that the demos are all the more eloquent. Just search the internet for names like Penny Mayer or Rick Taylor and see for yourself. Rick Taylor Penny Mayer I don't know the author of this one, but really great one! More, you can combine them in interesting backdrop and have a more attractive result: www.puttyandpaint.com/projects/17161Now my story! I'm not a big fan of these products, but I can see the artistic charge and, well painted, they can be real jewels. I am attaching something I have in hand, recently arrived from France. The manufacturer is called Centurion Miniatures and they have a lot of interesting products, a few caught my eye. As they will soon become gifts for some close friends, you can see that I have included them on the list of projects for this year. You have their photo, the ruler will help you see the dimensions as well, a little more than the traditional flats (30mm). I hope enjoy together! Warm hugs! Nicu Attachments:

What incredible work. If you hadn't said they were Flats, I would have thought they were just regular figures.

Good luck with this very interesting art form. I bought a book many years ago on The Art of Flat Figure Painting, I soon realised it wasn't for me!!

Great looking projects, Nico! The lynx most definitely will turn out beautifully at your hands. I'm also looking forward to seeing the horses completed. Two of my younger sisters are horse riders, and they haul their horses all over America to different trails they've never visited.
