Visiting the "Internationale Zinnfigurenbörse" in Kulmbach 2024

Hi,

today´s post is a short one with some pictures from the "Internationale Zinnfigurenbörse" in Kulmbach, Bavaria, Germany. This event happens every two years at the second weekend of August.

In its origin it used to be a fair for flats and within the years it became a fair for almost every kind of lead figure you could imagine - flats (of course still a lot of them), toysoldiers, kits of lead soldiers, manufacturers of terrain, a lot of books dealing with the hobby, brushes and paints and so on.

The first few pictures are dealing with a German manufacturer who makes really impressive an highly detailed 3d-printed wagons or cannons for different ages of warfare. You should visit his website. You won´t regret it.

Also very interesting are the figures from HagenMiniatures. They have a very good range with very special themes in 1/72 scale.

I hope you all enjoy this little tour.


Cheers

Peipp-figures are a little bit bulky but their special style is also beautiful. Unfortunately they are out of production. This manufacturer was located in Dresden, Saxony, Germany. 

The market stall of Saimextoys from Italy.

The block houses had been very interesting to use them for the rules of Muskets&Tomahawks.



Guess about the person who reserved those five British fusiliers - :):)


A lot of Historex figures for a very good price - but not my point of interest. Maybe the Prussians on the right in the second row.

It is always nice to take a look at the high quality painted flats.





Of course it´s not Vercingetorix, but it is Montcalm. The text belongs to the figure on row above.

  1. Another super post full of cracking figures, some lovely ones on show. The flats always intert me, they really are quite superb, the painting of them turn them into little works of art.

    1. Hi Donnie,
      thanks for compliments. There are always high quality painted figures at this fair. There is also a contest of painted models. Unfortunately we could not have a look at this contest this year.

  2. Looks just great Mike! I should go one of these days. Was your wallet a bit lighter when you left?

    1. The wallet was a bit lighter, but the shopping bag was much heavier. :)
