Too far away for having being able to participate !!
Therefore no statistics, no results, no figures related specifically to the Flats in particular....



I am collecting pictures on the net and around, in order to pepare a gallery in two weeks, but I am inviting you to watch the following video just issued on the webb, of the best flats selected

It was a link posted yesterday by Jean-Paul De Soza on Facebook, with two more videos on Historical and Fantastic figures as pictures.
Flats were painted between this year and back to at least 2018 or 2017 too, as I could identify ...


In Europe flats constitute abut 7-8% of figures, but mix with othr non EU coçuntries could lower this ratio.  I already have ovr 500 pictures, with some duplicates and details ...   Displays are numbered from PEM/PES 1 to 1140 but I ignore if only flat painters were so numbered.

Great video on flats.  Also more videos on historical and on wargame figures. 3 videos on fantasy figures. OMG, what a show!
Search on U Tube: "WME Versailles 2025 " to find these.
Just like being there. Many thanks to those that did the work of making and posting these.
