The opinions expressed within this Journal are not necessarily those of the

Editor, the Committee, other officials, or the British Flat Figure Society.

In this issue we are trying out an experiment. By reducing the number of pages from 24 to 20, the savings made on printing and postage enable us to put in a lot more colour for pretty much the same overall cost.We would like to know what you think about this change.I apologise for the lateness of the Journal. I have put my house up for sale so have had to spend some time tidying up, cleaning and all that to make the place presentable for viewing.

Every now and then (there can be years in between) I am feeling my oats.

So I created small contraptions for tin figures, in this special case the story is about contraptions for crossing small rivers and brooks and about a lifting jack.

Years ago I held a presentation in our local collectors group about crossing water. I tinkered with three different ways to do that:• A suspension bridge for pedestrians.• A trestle bridge for cavalry and

artillery.• A raft from barrels in a wooden grating.

Suspension bridges and raft were made after an 18th century textbook about building bridges (Theatrum Pontificale by Leupold), the trestle bridge after a 19th century engraving with military field equip-ment and solutions. In the background you can see two Russian Canvas Pontoons of 1812, made from structure paper and round bars.

All bridges are movable (I stored them in a box) and have “working ma-chinery”, that means, my winches are fixed in the ground, you can rotate the axis and tense the ropes, that carry boards for making the bridge flooring or the rope, that allows control of my “barrel raft”.

The winches I made from 4 x 4 mm wood and toothpicks, the ground nails from brass wire.

For the barrels and pulleys I visited a local Ship Modelling supplier.

This supplier also provided the 1 mm lime tree wood for the planks.

The planks for the raft are of card-board from a model railway shop.

The raft works according to a prin-ciple I could not find a translation for: It is fixed to a long rope, that is anchored some hundred metres upstream. By changing the rafts’ angle in the stream the power of flowing water alone pushes the raft (or ferry) across the river to the other shore.

You need no pulling, no engine; nature alone does what is needed. This principle even in our days propels ferries across my home river Elbe and perhaps across other flowing rivers.

Some years before I had - just for my own pleasure – tinkered with a tripod lifting jack for artillery and wagon repairs. It is made from 3 x 3 mm bars with aluminium foil metal fittings.

Again I took the pulley from the Ship modellers’. The winch (here with detent) in earlier times was part of a clocks mechanism.

Of course - there are no occasions when you need “working machines” of that sort (even less use for a working lift-ing jack with detent), but for exhibition purposes it was rather good that I had the possibility to strain my bridge’s ropes. And - I admit - there was something in it, when the maquets were finished….

Ian sends his apologies that the minutes did not get into the August Journal.Martin Sutor took the chair, and thanked everybody for coming, and said he appreciated the travelling that everyone was prepared to undertake to attend.Martin reported that he had put up proposals on the website for anyone not able to attend the meeting to contribute and he had no responses as of the morning of the meeting.Bob, the treasurer, was unfortunately not able to join us, and his apologies were recorded. Martin reported the balance was £2805.14 on Bob’s behalf.

Martin gave his own report:• He stated that we had had a good year. • There was a panic with the website in

January, reported in the journal. The site had to be removed immediately and remained so for a couple of days. The site is administered by some US members.

• There was some confusion about names, between British and International, but the site can be accessed under the name British. It was noted that International obtained more “hits” and traffic.

• It is now has least problems and considered the best site.

• A figure of Shakespeare has been produced will be provided with the Journal free to members. This is an experiment and it did not cost over the subscription. Martin reported that there had been no feedback. It was agreed that it was and gave his thanks to Dick Jenkins for his help

• Martin thanked Jon Redley for the backing sheet for Becket figure.

• A work in progress is a compendium comprising a series of articles on painting flat figures, collected and sold in a ring binder. This would generate revenue and also raise the profile of the society.

Figures from the pages of Die Zinn-figur. All figures 30mm unless otherwise

stated.

• It was noted that common questions asked at shows are about where to buy flats and how to paint them.

• “How I paint figures” needs input from the whole membership.

• Martin said he would write an introduction.

• The proposal is to buy 100 copies and sell them for £10.

Ed Humphreys gave the membership secretary’s report:• He had taken over the database.• Now slightly over 100 members: 66 in

the UK; around the same as last year.• Ed predicted recruiting at Kulmbach.• Could take half-year; take 18 months

including the next full year, or current full year and supply missing journal back-numbers.

• Martin stated that all three were acceptable, and that we did not want to have a rolling year’s subscription. If someone joined after June they could have half-year subscription.

• Most payments were by Paypal.• The possibility of associate members

was raised which would be forum users. Only full members would be allowed access to back numbers of the journal on the forum.

• Ed asked if anyone had a postal address for John Garrard, who was active on the forum but no other contact details were known. It was suggested that we put the request for information on the forum.

Brian Keyward spoke about the Figure Consortium and shows:• Not much interest in the Society

producing figures. • Need ideas for the next figures. No

ideas so far.• Last figure made a loss, and the next

one needs to be financially viable. • Becket had not much traction outside

the UK. • If nothing comes up in the next six

months, the Consortium would go.• Could be anything - British theme is

fine, but must be saleable to Europeans.• Suggestions of a comic book character

or a superhero. Dick Jenkins indicated that this would be a problem with copyright issues. Further discussions on suggested figures took place, detailed later.

• Speaking to ex-members suggested

that reason was the £22 was not justifiable for what they get. These members may be enticed to return with a cheaper price with two journals.

• He expressed the view that the Society needs to be more active.

• At shows entering competitions with flats and especially winning trophies against round figures and dioramas promotes flats.

• Ed mentioned that he has Society literature hand-outs and cards for use by members at shows.

There was a discussion on meetings and Society activities, as well as shows• Phil Redmond suggested that it would

be good to have an additional meeting in or around London, perhaps towards the end of the year, and offered to try to set one up.

• Martin said that we could hold the committee meeting could be moved to a venue further South and combined with an open meeting.

• Mike Creese asked how many local groups meet. East Anglia does meet. Mike Taylor mentioned meetings hosted at his house.

• Roy Boardman suggested combining a London meeting with Euromilitaire.

• Martin agreed that we need to attract interest from those outside the Society, especially on continental Europe, where collectors are in much greater numbers.

• It was noted that not many shows were flagged up in the journal, including a number in the Midlands.

• A question was raised about possibility of competitions. A single figure has been purchased in numbers and circulated amongst members, however the number of painted figures returned was low. Ed commented that we should avoid the word competition.

A discussion of suggestions for the choice of figures possibly to be commissioned by the Society:• Edward at Crecy with a standard

bearer.• Shakespeare could be a one off.• Next series could be explorers: Marco

Polo, Neil Armstrong, Amundson. This would have wide appeal. Mike Taylor commented that Amundson had been done and suggested Captain Scott, and also Columbus. Columbus

could be carrying a banner.• Phil Redmond suggested Hamlet

with a skull, named as an actor contemporary with Shakespeare.

• Background for the figures could have art work in the journal.

• Dick Jenkins suggested it would be better to add further related figures to make a series which will be more popular.

• There is one vacant space on the slate block used for the Shakespeare which could be a Shakespeare character, possibly Falstaff and another block would take three figures and could be used for the explorers. If the Shakespeare character went well more could be added.

Ed raised the issue of payment for Society’s Kulmbach table. Fees from new members recruited had paid for the table. A resolution was made that the Society would pay for the table, which was formally agreed.The remainder of the meeting was opened up to the floor.Charles King stated the Society had had a good year. He reported that one figure was unidentified also appealed for anyone with good writing to label.Jerry Mortimore, as journal editor, thanked those who had submitted articles for the journal. New printing approach is working fine. He noted that postage costs were going up, now printed papers was the same as a letter, more expensive. Martin indicated that suggestions for minimizing costs would be welcome. Mike Crease stated that BMSS find electronic distribution saves money. It was also noted that all editions of the journal will be available on the website in the members only area. The only problem may be appropriate resolution of images. All images could be in colour Mike Crease thanked the committee, stating that without the committee the society would not exist. John Russell stated that and the society owe a great deal to the website.Mike Taylor expressed his appreciation of the meeting today.Ed informed everybody that publication of Jacques Vullinghs’ book on Mignot figures was imminent.All existing members of the committee were re-elected.

Series 21: The Women of Schorndorf. 18 figs and groups.In 1688 the resolute women save their town from plundering by the French general Melac.

In 1688 the townspeople managed to prevent Schorndorf being surrendered to the French army, on which occasion the “Wives of Schorndorf” in particular distinguished themselves. The story goes that under their leader, Barbara Künkelin, they locked up the town council who had already decided to hand over the town. Thanks to the courageous intervention of these women, the town was spared the fate that capitulation would have brought with it.

The picture below right is after an oil painting by Carl von Häberlin.Series 22: Schiller. 8 figs and groups.Schiller reads “The Robbers” to school pupils in the Bopserwald.

Series 23: At the Market Fountain. 13 figs and large fountain.The girl without stockings or petticoat. The poor lass suffers an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction.Series 24: The Tailor of Ulm. 40 figs and groups and launch pad (not shown).In 1811, his attempt to copy the flight of birds fails miserably.

Albrecht Ludwig Berblinger (June 24, 1770 - January 28, 1829), also known as the Tailor of Ulm, is famous for having constructed a working flying machine. He wanted to be an inventor but was ap-prenticed to a tailor. One of his inventions was what appears to be a hang glider. He worked on it for years, improving it and watching the flight of owls. People made fun of him and he was ordered to pay a large fine for his working outside of the guild. Nevertheless he invested his whole income in his project. King Frederick I of Württemberg became interested in his work and sponsored him with 20 Louis.

He attempted to demonstrate the glider on the evening of May 30, 1811 in the presence of the king, his three sons and the crown prince of Bavaria. The King and a large number of citizens waited for the flight but Berblinger cancelled it, claiming that his glider was damaged. The next day he made a second attempt from a higher location - the Adlerbastei (Eagles Bas-tion). The King had left by this time, but his brother Duke Heinrich and the princes stayed to watch. Berblinger waited so long for a good wind that a policeman finally gave him a push and Berblinger fell into the Danube. Other versions of this account have no mention of the policeman and claim that the difference in temperature over the cold Danube limited thermal updrafts and therefore the glider failed to lift. He survived and was rescued by fishermen, but his reputation was ruined as a result and his work suffered. He was 58 years old when he died in a hospital.It was not until the end of the century that Otto Lilienthal proved the feasibility of heavier-than-air flight.Series 26: Daimler. 21 figs.In 1885, Daimler tests his motorcycle in the streets of Cannstatt - the first petrol-driven vehicle.

Series 25: Rößleswirt of Cannstatt.In 1871 when Bismarck negotiated the peace terms with the French representatives Favre and Thiers before Paris at the end of the Franco-Prussian War, the French said Bismarck should not insist so much on the strongest terms, because they knew well that the German troops were very shabby and emaciated. Bismarck commanded, “Send in Rößleswirt from Cannstatt." because the innkeeper Rößleswirt was not only the fattest man in his regiment, but also in the whole Württemberg Field Division, and had lost nothing of his big belly during the campaign.

When the French had seen the full girth of Rößleswirt, they immediately agreed to the peace terms as laid down by Bismarck.

After his return from the campaign of 1870/71 Rößleswirt regaled the guests at his inn again and again with this legend. He told it so often and so well that he came to believe it himself.The Retter figures are now available from:Wilfried Dangelmaier Im Hohholz 3 71549 Auenwald-Mittelbrüden Germany.Tel: 07191-56357.Herr Dangelmaier also has the Zimmerman and Golberg catalogues.The illustrations for series 21, 22, 24 and 25 are from Herr Dangelmaier's catalogue, the other figures are from my own collection.

Well, to be exact; “slightly different”! During October 2012 the good lady and I took a city break in Bruges and as part of the package we had a day visiting sites associated with the Great War. With the various events being considered and organised for the next four years to mark the various centenaries associated with the First World War I thought I would share with you some observations about some of the places we visited during the day. These might be of help to other members who might be considering visiting the area of Flanders in the near future.

We visited two museums on our day trip at different ends of the museum spec-trum, both of which gave an insight into the lives and history of those who fought in the Great War. The first of these was the privately owned Hill 62 Museum, which was described by one member of the group as being at the ‘car boot’ end of the mu-seum spectrum. The museum has connec-tions to the war, in that the land has been in the same family since prior to the outbreak of hostilities and boasts a section of an original trench system. On the day we visited there had been no rain for six days, yet in the floor of the trenched there still lay puddles of rainwater and at edges the mud was a glutinous mass, which gave some indication of the conditions in which the troops lived and fought. These trenches are part of the Sanctuary Wood battlefield and after the war finished the land was returned to the farmer who not only preserved the trench section but also began to collect various artefacts associated with the conflict. This interest has continued with both his son and now his grandson and the various items collected are on display in a number of buildings within the museum. There is no

attempt to exhibit the collection in anything resembling a chronological order and not always in a thematic manner, however the opportunity to ‘get up close and personal’ with uniforms, weapons and other military hardware is not to be missed. One of the most interesting exhibits is a collection of table top ‘What the Butler Saw’ type view-ers. These contain numerous photographs of the war from a variety of different sources many of them coming from official French photographers. An interesting reflection being that unlike the British press who censored the images there appears to be no such qualms shown in depicting the dead and seriously injured.

The second museum was the recently re-opened and re-modelled ‘In Flanders Fields’ Museum in the Cloth Hall at Ypres. This museum represents a more traditional and high-tech approach to displaying its exhibits. Right from the point of entry via a stylised poppy wrist band to the opportunity to enter your name via an interactive computer system that allows you to discover if any of your ancestors were involved in the various actions within Flanders. With the aid of the wrist band you are also able to access further information about a range of exhibits on display. Via a wide range of contemporary printed ma-

terials you are given a background to the war. This use of contemporary material is enhanced by the personal experiences and reminiscences of those who were there. There are display cases of uniforms and military hardware and a whole variety of different aspects of the war are examined, from the Christmas truce, to the medical services, trench life, to the effects on the civilian population plus many more aspects of the conflict. As with the museum at Hill 62 there is a large collection of both contemporary photographs and film that give other nation’s perspectives of the war.

Having passed through the war years, one of the final exhibits charts how

the town of Ypres was affected by war with a collection of images taken both before and during the war. These are displayed along-side images showing how Ypres was rebuilt in the years that fol-lowed the peace.

As mentioned entry to the ‘In Flan-ders Fields’ museum is by a wrist band and this can be used at any time during the day so if there appear to be a number of parties in front of you then you can always leave the Cloth Hall and take a refreshment break in

one of the many eating establishments in the market place. It also will give you time to plan your visit by looking at the museum floor plan that comes with the wristband.

Doubtless over the next four years many people will visit the area whether on an organised visit, be this as part of a city break package or a specialist tour. For those who prefer to make their own arrangements there are also a number of companies who organise day tours of many of the battlefield sites giving guided tours.
