The range of articles is diverse, reflecting the diversity of the flat tin figure, and each Journal includes pages devoted to newly released figures.

The Journal is published in February, May, August and November. The February and August issues have four pages of colour. The articles reflect the variety of the flat figure and the interests of members. There are articles, on collecting ? a particular editor, theme or period for example; painting ? medium, techniques, etc; display ? individually, in groups, dioramas and vignettes; and on historical or biographical information that may be relevant to flats. It is usually quite an eclectic mix.

In each Journal are regular features on new figures and diary dates. We welcome information or articles from editors who may wish to contribute. Space can always be made available for members advertising surplus stock or requesting figures or information.

A sample journal is available here:

• BFFS Journal # 62

Past journals are available for download by members.

The British Flat Figure Society was formed to bring together English speaking enthusiasts for the flat tin figure, from the United Kingdom.


The International Flat Figure Society was formed with BFFS to further expand this organization around the world. It's core members include those from the BFFS and a link to the original BFFS site is still maintained.



The Society seeks to encourage the collecting, studying, painting and displaying of the flat tin figure in all its forms.
A quarterly Journal is produced, with colour pages included in two issues per year. The range of articles is diverse, reflecting the diversity of the flat tin figure, and each Journal includes pages devoted to newly released figures.


A friendly, non-competitive meeting is held once a year and the Society is represented at some model figure events such as Euromilitaire and Kulmbach. Notice of these is given in the Forum.


Membership is open to all and is not restricted to the United Kingdom. Registration at the Forum is open to all, members and non-members alike, but anyone not giving a real email address will be deleted.


Full membership includes a Quarterly Journal as well as greater access to the site.
