Since 1991 when we started our professional work we produced some set of flats 28-30 mm. It was manufactured about 1992-1994. Today we do not make it, because our direct was round 54-60 mm figures, but some of moulds still ready for work.
I found some figures from our first set - "Heroes from "Aida"". You can see our catalogue plate and samples of flats from this set.



Today this moulds is destroyed, so I can present only 4 flats from this set

 
This is our second set of the flats - Polish winged hussars, 17c. Unhappy the moulds is broken, but due to the customers asking us for this set we decided make new moulds.
So, here you can see the plate from our catalogue


Below the figures from this set that I can offer today

 
Here is present our next set of flats - Ukrainian cossacks, 17c. It was released in 1994. Now the moulds is enough spoiled, but still in work

 
The recovering of our moulds allowed to cast full set of the Polish winged hussars
 
Updated set of the Ukrainian cossacks (added 1 mounted figure). This is completed set now. Howewer this set should be more flats, but it seems this is will not able.

 
You have some very nice figures. I'm a long-time flat painter and collector. I'm not familiar with your company or your products, but I'm going to look you up on th web. Do you have any figures in 54 or 90mm? We old guys don't see so well anymore. :D

Thanks for posting here. You might also consider joining the forum at the British Flat Figure Society:

That's a ready-made audience for your products.

I see you also do rounds - but no web site????
 
Our 4th set of flats - French line infanty in reserve at Austerlitz, 1805



 
Its great seeing Flats on this Forum.... and that you are making more of them. I've only got about 3 sets in my collection, and they do take a different technique in painting, but most rewarding.

Do you have these for sale anywhere.... I love Austerlitz and the early battles... any more coming our way ???

Obee....

Do you by any chance have pics of your painted work? I am fascinated by these 'flats' and would like to see them or a step guide to how you paint. Seems very interesting
