I bought about 100 Zinnfiguren from ebay over 10 years ago. They were factory paint jobs and I have done a bit of refurbing for Wargaming use. Certainly no where near the level that serious Zinnfiguren collecters achieve.
I had based a few figures up on big bases but that was as far as it went. A recent thread on the Law Forum was discussing the WoFun flats and it reminded me about these figures.
So I spent a pleasant day yesterday removing the figures from the big bases and the sand and grit groundworks. I have gone for a toy soldier look with single figure basing , with a nice toy soldier green base colour, and lashings of Gloss varnish.
I went for single basing as this is very much the ethos of the AGM rules but also I found that if Zinnfiguren on multiple bases are actually more likely to be damaged when picked up than if they are singly based.
Finally I came across another old photo of classic Napoleonics which I had not seen before. Mostly Hinton Hunts with a Superquick Cardboard church

They look fun and the paint job really suits the figure style.
Zinnfiguren are really cool, got a lot of ones for the Ancient period. Your figures look super.
Very nice flats . I had one of those cardboard churches , sadly long gone .
Marvellous toys Mark... you have made my wargames butterfly flutter 😁
I like the wargames photo... I think all the buildings are Superquick... and all still available...
All the best. Aly
Love the flats Mark. I've always wanted to try some but have been too intimidated to venture down that road!
