Every two years the Bavarian town of Kulmbach is the center of tin figure enthusiasts from all around the world. This fair is organised by the German tin figures museum also located in Kulmach in the large Plassenburg castle (really worth to see). Flat figures are the most seen, but also lots of round figures and some 1/72 figures also. The complete fair is located in a traditional Bavarian beer tent (Kulmbach is also well known for a local beer brewery). There is also a contest with several categories in a neighbouring building.
It was a very interesting event and I saw many very good works. And I personally met two people, which I already knew from several forums - Uwe Wild and Frank Ziegler (both excellent sculptors and really nice guys). Especially the contact with Frank Ziegler brought me lots of information for my next diorama (the largest I ever made - be surprised!)
