Greetings everybody. 


I'm a modeler/dioramist from the Netherlands and I discovered the world of flat figure painting about 1,5 years ago.  And it turned into a new addiction.  I bought my first flats in Moson 2023 and painted my first one immediately after that show.  And since the collection has grown massively in all scales and sizes. 
My main interest is ww1 and I love to paint bigger display figures and busts. 


At the last SMC in Veldhoven the Netherlands I visited the British flat figure society stand and decided to become a member here as well.  Below is my latest painted flat.  Fraulein Feldgrau. A 1:10 flat bust of a popular model that featured on a lot of German ww1 postcards. 


I will make a gallery folder with all the flats I painted so far.  [attachimg=1]
